Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The collection consists of one box with 18 folders containing 18 photoprints, and twelve nitrate film negatives, originating in years 1889-1909. The photographs are studio portraits and informal snapshots of Chandlee and Mottu family members and friends. One of the studio portraits is a "multigraph", wherein several views of the same person are imposed into one overall composition. There are scenes of tennis, boys eating watermelon at Walbrook, people with bicycles, and a football team at Baltimore City College in 1905. There are several shots of the 1904 Baltimore Fire, including some unusual ones of the fire in progress from Federal Hill across the harbor. There are also some photos made at Bradford's Grove, which may be in Washington County, Maryland.
