Photographs series, 1886-1947, undated.

This series contains photographs, primarily of Senator Tillman. There are a few photos of his family and some of his travels to the West as well as to Florida where he visited Thomas Edison. The oversize photos include several related to Clemson College during the late 1890's and early 1900's when Tillman's sons attended Clemson. There are a few family photos from the 1920's and 1930's as well as of the Tillman statue dedicated at the State Capitol in 1940. There is a folder of negatives for the pictures from the 1920's and 1930's. The series also contains twenty cartes-de-viste, 1861-1882, of individuals photographed primarily in Charleston. They were part of accession 79-4 and may have once belonged to B. R. Tillman, Jr. or to his inlaws, the Dugas family.
