Knoedler Photographs and Negatives from William Collins, 190?-194?

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/263053277

William J. Collins was brought on at the Clark as the first curator of prints and drawings in 1958. He had been the head, since 1939, of the Department of Prints at Knoedler & Co. in New York City, where the Clarks purchased many of their artworks. Collins passed away unexpectedly in 1960. This series contains negatives and photos presumably brought by Collins from Knoedlers when he began at the Clark. They contain images of artworks prints and drawings sold by Knoedler. The images are primarily black-and-white negatives but there are some glass negatives and black-and-white photos. Each image has an accompanying envelope with identifying information such as the title and artist. The envelopes have a numbering system but there are several duplicate numbers and gaps of unrepresented numbers. There is also a group of images labeled as "plates", with its own numbering system.
