Description:

The Charlotte Brontë Literary File consists of 142 photographs, the bulk of which are glass negatives. While there are some images of people pertaining to Brontë, including family members and friends, most are of places associated with her and the Brontë family. The glass negatives are listed with the numbers from the original housing but are grouped according to size: 10.6 x 8 cm, 16.3 x 12 cm, and 16.5 x 21.6 cm. (There is a negative number “1” in each of the first two size groups.) Negatives without original numbers are listed after numbered negatives of the same size. Descriptions in quotes are taken from inscriptions on the negatives, either on the glass or on material adhered to the glass, unless otherwise noted.

Please consult finding aid for more detailed information and to page materials to the Reading and Viewing Room..

This collection forms a part of the Literary File Photography Collection that is comprised of photographs and albums withdrawn from the libraries and/or papers of literary figures, and generally includes portraits and images collected by or of those figures.
