Series 12: Photographs, 1925-2001

Arranged alphabetically, the series contains black and white, color and Polaroid photographs. Negatives, proofs and contact sheets are kept, if unique. One box contains only negatives and proofs of a 1944 trip to Surinam. It is arranged geographically and can be useful since some photographs of this region are not identified. With the exception of some early photographs of Bassett Maguire's first trip to British Guiana in 1925, the series captures much of his expeditionary life spanning the 1940's through Maguire's death in 1991. Included in the series are additional post-1991 photos of the home he and his wife Celia shared in the Dominican Republic. Portraits and early photographs of Basset Maguire and those with Celia Maguire are located in Series 1. Some Maguire photographs are not located within this series but filed with associated documentation in other series.
