Scope and Contents
| The R. G. (Robert Guy) Howarth Literary File consists of 275 photographs (8 photographic prints, 187 negatives, and 80 lantern slides). An index at the end of this guide lists photographers whose work is featured in this file. Further descriptions of some items are available in a card catalog in the repository. | ||
| The lantern slides were originally described in two separate series, Shakespeare’s Theatre, Elizabethan England (P26-P65) and Shakespeare’s Theatre, Elizabethan and Modern England (P66-P105). The series titles were presumably from the original housing, described by previous catalogers simply as “a black box.” The images are chiefly reproductions of book illustrations or typescript, with a few being photographs from life, so noted. Most of the slides have labels with identification and/or original slide numbers, while a few which have no labels at all; quoted titles were devised from slide content (text). | ||
| This file forms a part of the Literary Files photography collection, which is comprised of photographs and albums withdrawn from the libraries and/or papers of literary figures and businesses, and generally include portraits and images taken or collected by and/or of those people and businesses. | ||
