Series 1: Photo Books, 1954-1963

 Series

Scope and Contents

This series is a collection of 3.5 x 4 inch polaroid photographs, previously housed in photo scrapbooks, containing multiple shots of specific plantings and areas of the Cary estate and surrounding areas. One exception being Book #18, which are photographs taken from an unknown rooftop in New York City partially documenting building construction. Many photographs are hand marked with time stamps, presumably documenting seasonal changes. All books were numbered but not all were titled.
