Photographs

The photograph collection includes a select group of Ralph Lieberman's black and white photographs of architecture and sculpture.

It also includes a collection of 19th and early 20th century study prints of both western and non-western art and architecture produced by Fratelli Alinari and other well-known photographers of that era. Numbering nearly 4,500 prints, these mostly albumen photographs formed the basis of art history study prior to teaching with 35mm slides, and are of exceptional quality. Several images are available digitally through the Williams VR Collection. An index binder is available in the VR Center for referral and requests for digital copies for academic use.
