Description: |
The result of six decades of collecting French literary materials, Carlton Lake's photograph collection is a comprehensive gathering depicting important French literary and artistic figures of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The photographs are arranged in a single alphabetical sequence by the name of the person who either owned the photographs or was the subject of the photographs, and date from the 1850s through the 1980s (bulk 1900-1960), though most are undated.
Carlton Lake collected photographs from such artists as Walter Arensberg, Charles Baudelaire, Samuel Beckett, Constantin Brancusi, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Jean Cocteau, Colette, Gustave Coquiot, Paul Fort, André Gide, Sisley Huddleston, Valentine Hugo, James Joyce, Marie Laurencin, Pierre Louys, Man Ray, Henry Miller, Anaïs Nin, Francis Picabia, Pablo Picasso, Maurice Ravel, Arthur Rimbaud, Henri-Pierre Roché, John Quinn, Erik Satie, Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, Paul Valéry, Emile Vuillermoz, and Beatrice Wood, among others. These photographs mostly depict the artist and his or her friends and family. There are also many interior design photographs as well as pictures taken at art galleries and of art collections. Photographs of Cocteau's production ofare located here, as is Vuillermoz's collection of celebrity portraiture. A large collection of personal photographs of Henri Pierre Roché and his friends and family is also present. An Index of Subjects is available in this finding aid.
Photographers represented in this collection include Robert Capa, Robert Doisneau, Cecil Beaton, Fritz Henle, Jacques Faujour, Nadar, Man Ray, Darthea Speyer, Ella Maillart, Claude Michaelides, Soichi Sunami, Waléry, Roger Villiers, Carl Van Vechten, André Lefebvre, Suse Byk, Georges Alliè, Constantin Brancusi, Françoise Gilot, Richard Heyd, and Emile Otto Hoppé, among others. Consult the Index of Photographers included in this finding aid for a complete listing of all identified photographers.
Types of photographs included in this collection include portrait photography, family snapshots, series by renowned photographers of prominent artists, vacation photos, annual school portraits, wedding albums, custom postcards, and slides. Largely composed of black and white silver gelatin prints, the collection also includes daguerreotypes, tintypes, cartes-de-visite, cabinet cards, photomechanical prints, and photographic postcards. Some of these photographs are duplicates and some have an accompanying negative. Many folders include typed or handwritten notes describing images, some of which may have been written Lake.
Prior to 1990, photographs were routinely separated from manuscript collections during cataloging at the Ransom Center. This collection was formed in this manner. Most photographs accessioned since 1990 have been kept with related manuscripts, see the Carlton Lake Collection of French Manuscripts (MS-04960) for further photographic materials collected by Carlton Lake.
Please request materials through the finding aid that contains detailed, folder-level information for the collection. |
