Series 4: Photographs and Prints, 1919-1932

 Series

  • Staff Only

Scope and Contents note

Most of the items in this series are photographs taken by Wright while stationed in Asia, although there are also photographs of his trips to the Western United States and Europe, portraits of some of his colleagues at the Daily News, and a number of photographs of places Wright visited, or people Wright knew, but which Wright did not himself take. Many of the photographs have captions written by Wright on the back which identify their subject, but a number do not, and thus some of the categorizations of the items in this series may not be entirely accurate.
