Description:

The collection consists of a color transparency series (P1-P65), entitled Ben Franklin in Sweden, illustrating the impact on 20th-century Sweden of a commercial treaty, negotiated by Benjamin Franklin (American, 1706-1790), between the United States and Sweden. Included are images of Franklin (P3-P4) and of what is probably the treaty (P6-P7). Item P64 notes it, and presumably the others, was produced by the Swedish Information Service. Item P65 is a 35mm color filmstrip of the images in P1-P64 and is housed separately.

This collection forms a part of the Literary File Photography Collection that is comprised of photographs and albums withdrawn from the libraries and/or papers of literary figures, and generally includes portraits and images collected by or of those figures.
