Paul Parrot photograph album

The collection consists of one photograph album containing roughly 500 photoprints, most of which are captioned in French and dated cira 1925-1926. The album was presumably assembled - and most of the photographs made - by Dr. Paul Parrot during the time he was a student at Johns Hopkins University. Many of the photographs depict students and activities at the Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health, some showing group visits to water purification and sewage treatment facilities in the region of Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Most of the people are identified by name, and nationality is indicated in some group portraits of students.

Baltimore views include downtown streets, the Anneslie development on York Road, Federal Hill, Fort McHenry, Druid Hill, Patterson, and Clifton Parks, views from the Washington Monument, and buildings of the Johns Hopkins Hospital and School of Hygiene and Public Health.

Other locations documented include New Orleans, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Syracuse and Ithaca, New York, Boston, Alabama, Ohio, and Niagara Falls. Parrot often photographed water supply facilities and dams in places visited in addition to traditional landmarks, buildings, parks, schools and monuments.
