- Curator's comments
- The photographs in this album are numbered 1868,0612,0.1845 to 1866. The album was originally registered in the Department of Prints and Drawings, and transferred in 1939. Judging from the way the light is reflected in the sculpted curves of the works represented, these photographs were most likely taken outside, and on-site. The backgrounds of the photographs have either been painted over, or the emulsion has been scratched out so as to leave a plain dark background.
