BAWDEN BROS. COLLECTION 1962-75

Inclusive dates: 1845-1941 (predominant dates: c. 1920-41)

SCOPE NOTES: This collection is comprised primarily of images taken by Bawden Brothers, Inc., Advertising Service, Illustrators, Engravers, and Printers of Davenport. The majority are original although some are copies apparently made for some specific purpose from another work. A wide range of subjects are included (see list of major sub-collections and subject headings below).

Cellulose nitrate negatives originally formed a large portion of this collection. These nitrate negatives and some safety negatives that had been damaged by their long term proximity to the nitrates (1962.75.38-97, 110, 112, 120-252, 254-420) were duplicated and prints made with the help of a state grant in May and June 1992 (see Box 1, folder 2 for information about grant and duplication process). The rest of the collection is comprised of safety negatives or prints. Prints exist for all images except safety negatives 1962.75.98-109, 111, 113, 119. Negatives exist for 1962.75.1, 2, 38-422

Images 1962.75.38-333 have been arranged according to the identification numbers written on them by the Bawdens themselves. The remainder were unnumbered. Remnants of existing original envelopes and photocopies of same are located in Box 1, folder 1.

Images 457-471 have been removed to oversize storage (Cabinet 1, Drawer 1, #3, 15, 18, 19).
