Frank G. Applegate photographic collection [picture]. [1880-1996]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/70557309

This collection contains photographs of Frank Applegate and his family, including his wife, and daughter Betty (later McClung) that were taken between 1906 and the 1950s, along with photographs of their homes and furnishings. Among the photos of their homes are several by Ansel Adams that were featured in the Ladies Home Journal in 1930, and several by Theo M. Fisher that appeared in House and Garden in 1929. The collection also includes photographs of Applegate's paintings, pottery and Spanish Colonial-style folk art. One photograph shows Applegate at work at the Academie Julian in Paris. Applegate may have collected some of the photos for inclusion in a book he planned to write on New Mexican architecture, a few of which Adams also made. Among these are photographs of churches at Cochiti, San Ildefonso, Santo Domingo, Santa Clara, and San Felipe Pueblos, and in Trampas and Cordova, and photographs of Native American ruins and dwellings. Photographer P. Clinton Bortell made a photograph of Walpi on the Hopi reservation that also is included. Tintype is believed to be an image of Applegate's mother-in-law, Agnes Chenoweth, as a young woman, c. 1880. Album contains photographs of Applegate family at their home in Morrisville, Pa., in the 1910s, and 1990s.
