Albert Emile Bachelet collection (1942-1988)

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/750273566

The collection consists of nine 4" x 2" stereoscopic glass slides of the Volk 'Hermes' bust of Lincoln, its maker L. Volk, and Brady or Anthony views of Lincoln; correspondence; two 1955 news clippings and a 1956 Bell Labs publication; various New York press cuttings on Lincoln; and Bachelet's hand-made stereoscopic viewer of wood base (19" x 6"), metal, and glass lenses. Modern inventory consists of 12-page spreadsheet listing every item in the collection. Bachelet's notes and technical calculations, 1942-1955, are in one small folder. Main correspondence is between him and Frederick Hill Meserve, the early collector of Mathew Brady and Lincoln materials, who sent prints from his original glass negatives (1944-1949); H. A. Schumaker, of Rochester, N.Y., on the Brady and Anthony firms' 2-tube and 4-tube cameras; Josephine Cobb of the National Archives, who also sent prints from original negatives (1947-1949); and Leo Stashin and J. T. Schott concerning an obviously not-Lincoln image of 1849; and Harold Herman, contracted by Bachelet to place another article for him through Oscar Solbert of the George Eastman House, Rochester.
