Biographical Sketch
Peter Hays Buckley was born September 13, 1925, in New York City. His father, David
Augustine Buckley, and his mother, Elinor Hays Buckley, separated when he was just
six months old. Buckley spent his childhood years living abroad with his mother and
going to school in several European cities including Paris, London, Rome, Geneva,
and Vienna. In 1938, they returned to New York City where Buckley attended Riverdale
Country Day School from which he graduated in 1943.
Buckley attended Princeton University during the summer before he turned eighteen and
was drafted into the U.S. Army. From November 1943 to July 1946, he served as part
of the Counter Intelligence Forces stationed in Europe during World War II. After
being honorably discharged, Buckley returned to Princeton. He graduated magna cum
laude in 1949 with a major in French and Spanish literature. He then went on to the
University of Paris to pursue doctoral work in philosophy and psychology but
abandoned that program in 1951.
Following his departure from the University of Paris, Buckley went to Spain and
became interested in making movies about bullfights. He befriended many of the
matadors and also reconnected and became close with Ernest Hemingway, who was also
active in the bullfight scene. Buckley’s mother had met Hemingway and his first
wife, Hadley, during their time in Paris in the 1920s, and their son, Jack, was a
childhood friend of Buckley’s.
In addition to his interest in bullfights, Buckley aspired to work on projects that
would bring people from different countries together in the hope of preventing
another war like the one he had just lived through. He made a short silent movie,
Under One Sun, which focused on two children
living in different areas of Italy, but he was unsuccessful with its distribution.
Encouraged by a friend in the book business, Buckley then envisioned a series of
photographically illustrated children’s books that would tell the stories of
children and their families from different parts of the world, for which he
abandoned his movie camera and took up still photography. Throughout the 1950s and
1960s, Buckley traveled extensively throughout Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Holland,
Greece, Nigeria, and Puerto Rico, all the while shooting photographs for these
books. What began as the Around the World book series at Franklin Watts continued on
with other publishers.
The transition from movies to still photographs also carried over into his bullfight
projects. He spent several bullfight seasons in the late 1950s traveling from city
to city with the matadors and shooting photographs during the matches and behind the
scenes. In 1958, he wrote and published what became his most successful book,
Bullfight, illustrated with photographs taken during
this period.
By the 1960s, Buckley had established himself as a master photographer of children
with his Around the World series. He was hired by the publisher Holt, Rinehart and
Winston, the largest publisher of K-12 foreign language materials at the time, to
shoot photographs for their French and Spanish textbook and filmstrip series.
Buckley traveled to Spain, France, Mexico, and Central and South America shooting
photographs for these books. From 1965 to 1968, he wrote about and photographed
families for the Holt Urban Social Studies series, a series of books and filmstrips
that focused on children living and going to school in New York City. It was
intended to create a more fully integrated textbook series for children, a concept
considered quite radical at that time.
Buckley’s next major project was
Ernest (1978), a
photo biography of his friend Ernest Hemingway. He was given unprecedented access to
family photographs by Hemingway’s widow, Mary, which he combined with his own
photographs and text. Ernest turned out to be
Buckley’s last book. Several planned projects, such as additional Around the World
books from Romania and Morocco, a book of color photographs of fall leaves, and a
book of photographs of bald eagles shot in British Columbia in the late 1980s, were
never completed.
Buckley was married to Conrad Little from 1959 to 1970, and they had three children:
David, Annabel, and Michael. In 1973, he married Susan Grace Washburn whom he met at
Holt, Rinehart and Winston where she worked as an editor. Buckley died in New York
City on January 8, 1997.

Scope and Contents
Photographic prints, negatives, transparencies, scrapbooks, correspondence,
clippings, annotated books, manuscripts, and book dummies document the life and
career of Peter Buckley. The collection is organized into the following two series:
I. Projects, 1943-1998, undated; and II. Career-Related and Personal, 1945-2007,
undated.
Series I. Projects, comprises the bulk of the collection. It consists of photographic
material for Buckley’s book projects, and includes negatives, contact sheets,
prints, slides, and a small amount of transparencies, as well as correspondence,
clippings, annotated books, manuscripts, and book dummies. Copies of his books Bullfight (1958) and Ernest
(1978) are also included. Oversize mounted and matted prints from Peru, Greece,
Holland, Switzerland, France, and Guatemala are present as well as oversize mounted
prints of eagles and one inscribed print of a bullfighter. Smaller prints from other
projects are also present.
Series II. Career-Related and Personal, contains scrapbooks, photographic prints,
negatives, and contact sheets, clippings and tear sheets, gifts, and posters.
Buckley’s plan for a photography exhibition from the 1990s and a detailed resume he
put together in the 1970s also form part of this series.

Series Descriptions
Series I. Projects, 1943-1998, undated (32.5 boxes, 4 oversize boxes, 1 flat file drawer)
This series documents Buckley’s career as a photographer. The series is
divided into four subseries: A. Countries, 1952-1987, undated; B. Ernest
Hemingway, 1943-1998; C. Holt Urban Social Studies Series, 1965-1968; and D.
Subjects, 1950s-1988, undated.
Subseries A. Countries, 1952-1987, undated
This subseries makes up the bulk of the collection and contains mostly
photographic material–negatives, contact sheets, prints, and slides–from
Buckley’s travels throughout the 1950s and 1970s. Noteworthy are
Buckley’s contact sheets which are often marked with instructions for
printing and cropping. The material is organized by location in keeping
with Buckley’s original organizational system. The countries represented
include Belgium, Canada, England, France, Greece, Holland, Italy,
Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Puerto Rico, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, the
United States, and several in Central and South America. In most cases,
the negatives correspond to one or more book projects, with the
exception of Belgium, Canada, England, Morocco, and Turkey, and the
United States which were either unrelated to any specific project or
intended for an unrealized book project.
Titles listed in the Container List were transferred from Buckley’s
original envelopes. Buckley employed his own numbering system to
organize his negatives by project. The numbers are listed with the
negatives in the Container List. Physically, the negatives are arranged
in numerical order, except where different formats were intermixed, in
which case they were separated and then arranged numerically. Contact
sheets for negatives that did not already have a corresponding contact
sheet were printed by Ransom Center staff and are appropriately marked
and interfiled with Buckley’s originals. All contact sheets are labeled
with their negative number and are arranged in numerical order except
for those marked specially selected or
super special which were filed
separately in keeping with Buckley’s original organization. Specially selected contact sheets for
specific countries are filed under that location. A set of intermixed
contact sheets from different countries designated super special, which includes contact
sheets of the French mime, Étienne Decroux, can be found at the end of
Subseries A. Two sets of valuable
prints are also present: the first set includes prints from
various countries as well as prints of a nude model and is located at
the end of Subseries A; the second set consists solely of photographs
from Bullfight and is filed with material from that book. A small set of
specially selected negatives and
contact sheets of general subjects can be found in Subseries D, along
with the negatives for Étienne Decroux and the nude model. The specially selected,super special, and valuable prints were being considered by
Buckley for a possible exhibition, the plan for which is located in
Series II.
Many of the photographs were shot for Buckley’s Around the World series
and other children’s books, including Cesare of
Italy (1954), Luis of Spain
(1955), Michel of Switzerland (1955), Jan of Holland (1956), Okolo of Nigeria (1962), Dimitrios,
Boy of Greece (1962) (also published as Greek Island Boy in 1965), and I Am
from Puerto Rico (1971). The materials from France, Mexico,
and Central and South America, and some from Spain, were for the Holt,
Rinehart and Winston foreign language textbooks and filmstrips, Español: Hablar y Leer (1962) and Le Français: Parler et Lire (1963). Spain has
several projects associated with it, in addition to the aforementioned
books, including The Spanish Plateau (1959)
and, most notably, Bullfight (1958).
The only non-photographic material in this subseries relates to Bullfight and includes Buckley’s contract and
correspondence with Simon and Schuster, Inc., two copies of the
published book, reviews, and Buckley’s proposal for a film on
bullfighting. One copy of Bullfight is
flagged with contact sheet numbers for most of the photographs. The
other is leather bound and slip cased, signed by Buckley, Richard Simon,
President of Simon and Schuster, and many of the matadors and others
featured in the photographs.
Related material for all of these projects, primarily clippings and
correspondence, is available in several of the scrapbooks located in
Series II.
Subseries B. Ernest Hemingway, 1943-1998
This subseries consists of source materials and production materials for
Ernest (1978), as well as other
material related to Hemingway. Included are several annotated books by
or about Hemingway, as well as clippings about him and about his widow,
Mary.
The source materials consist of negatives and copy negatives of
photographs of Hemingway which Buckley considered using for his book.
Original photographs given to Buckley by Mary Hemingway are also
present. The production material consists of prints made from the copy
negatives, many annotated or with crop marks; typed and handwritten
notes and a preliminary draft of the text for the book; and a partial
dummy comprised of some photographs included in the book. For
conservation purposes, the photographs from the dummy were removed from
the original magnetic photo album pages and individually sleeved.
A copy of the published book is included, as are reviews, and marketing
and publicity material. Photographs related to publicity for the book,
removed from an album, are also present in this subseries and include
images of a store window display and a book signing, and a television
appearance by Buckley with one of Hemingway’s granddaughters. The
correspondence included in the subseries, most of which is photocopied,
documents Buckley’s interactions with book publishers and with staff
from the John F. Kennedy Library which holds Hemingway’s archive, as
well as his relationship with the Hemingway family, and his own
promotion of his book. The correspondence is arranged chronologically
with incoming and outgoing letters interfiled. Of note is some
photocopied correspondence to Buckley from Hemingway regarding the
possibility of his writing an introduction for Bullfight. A small amount of correspondence between Susan
Buckley and Crisman Films regarding the use of Buckley’s photographs for
a film on Hemingway is also included.
Additional Hemingway material, including some correspondence, is located
in the Spain 1956 scrapbook in Series
II.
Subseries C. Holt Urban Social Studies Series,
1965-1968
This subseries consists of negatives, contact sheets, and a small number
of color transparencies related to the four books in the Holt Urban
Social Studies Series: William, Andy and
Ramón (1966), Five Friends at
School (1966), Living as
Neighbors (1966), and Our Growing
City (1968). As with the previous projects, the contact
sheets are marked with printing and cropping instructions. Two copies of
a pamphlet written by Buckley, The Story
Behind Holt’s Urban Social Studies Program, as well as
negatives and contact sheets of Buckley photographed with the children
from the series are also included.
Clippings, reviews, and correspondence regarding these books is located
in the scrapbook dated 1965-1967 in Series II.
Subseries D. Subjects, 1950s-1988, undated
This subseries contains photographic material for unfinished projects and
general subject matters. Material for an unpublished book on eagles
comprises the bulk of the subseries and includes negatives, contact
sheets, prints, and a detailed dummy with images, text, and notes on the
layout of the book. For conservation purposes, the dummy was digitized
in its original form and the original unstable plastic sleeves were
discarded.
Negatives, contact sheets, and prints of the actress Anita Morris,
originally intended for an unrealized book on human expressions based on
Darwin’s theories, also form part of this subseries. Other subjects
represented with negatives, contact sheets, and slides are the French
actor and mime Étienne Decroux, an aspiring model/actress Nina Di Palma,
the sculptor Chaim Gross and a nude model in his studio, Margaux
Hemingway, other female models, a new housing development, scenes from
nature, a sneaker factory, and various styles of dance and theater.
There is also a small selection of unidentified subjects. A small group
of “specially selected” negatives and contact prints are also included
in this subseries.
Series II. Career-Related and Personal, 1945-2007, undated (1 box, 6
oversize boxes, 1 flat file drawer)
This series consists of materials related to Buckley’s career as well as
personal items. Included are clippings, a plan for a photography exhibition,
his contract with Simon and Schuster, Inc. for I Am
from Puerto Rico, two sets of prints from portfolios, a detailed
resume, photographs of Buckley, magazines, reviews, and several bullfight
posters. Three gifts in this series are a photograph of Ernest Hemingway
inscribed to Buckley, a matted photograph of the two of them with an
inscription from Hemingway, and a print of a bullfight in Arles, France from
artist Michael Crouser.
Of note in this series are Buckley’s scrapbooks. Two of the scrapbooks have
been restricted due to their fragile condition. Digital copies of these
scrapbooks are available in the Ransom Center for patron access. Five of the
scrapbooks contain clippings, correspondence, prints, and ephemera primarily
related to the books from the Around the World series and one for the Holt
Urban Social Studies series. The correspondence includes letters from
children featured in the books, as well as from fans of the books, many of
them children. One scrapbook commemorates Buckley’s time in Spain and
contains clippings, prints, and personal memorabilia from his experiences
photographing bullfights. This scrapbook also contains items related to the
publication of Bullfight, such as galley pages
with handwritten corrections and reviews. Correspondence from Ernest and
Mary Hemingway is also included in this scrapbook, including a Christmas
card from 1957, and an announcement of the 1954 Nobel Prize ceremony with a
note from Hemingway. A scrapbook from 1958, which included clippings and
reviews for Bullfight, was disbound and the
contents were removed for preservation purposes. Preservation photocopies of
the original album pages are included with the original items.
All but one of the scrapbooks contained loose materials, which were housed in
folders. The scrapbook from 1965 was disbound and had its pages sleeved,
though the original covers were retained. The pages from the last two
scrapbooks, 1958 and 1965 to 1967, were removed from their binders and
re-sleeved and housed in folders.
The following items were transferred to the appropriate units within the Ransom
Center:
Transferred to the Film Collection were two 16mm films, Ernest (silent print) and Ernest (negative
print) and six VHS tapes: Under One Sun, Peter Buckley,
Original Version, Spectrum Light Productions; Bullfighting, Spectrum Light Productions; “Monumentos;” “Novillado of Francisco Rivera Ordoñez August ’92;” “60 Minutes;” and ‘A-1 to 12 Two 1941-1950’
