Glass Negatives from Kate Marion Blunt 1895

[Student Group]

History

This group of negatives were purchased together. One of them was in an envelope addressed to Mrs. William E. Blunt, who was Harriet M. Harriman 1866. She had two daughters who attended Mount Holyoke: Kate Marion Blunt 1895 and Florence Tolman Blunt 1896. Since all of these photos are dated 1894 and 1895, it's a guess that they are Kate's, but they could easily be Florence's and not include her senior year. Almost all of them were in paper folders that had inked inscriptions on them. I scanned these larger than normal because they were so unusual. The original negatives were 4"x5" in size.

Update in April 2002: I visited the MHC Archives and looked at an album assembled by Lydia Elizabeth Sanderson 1895. She had about half of these photos in her album as well, which was handy in that I could see if I was displaying them here correctly, or as their mirror image. (I had to flip 8 of them!) Also, she had notes on several of them that Kate did not, so I added those in my commentary.
