Description

photographic paper photography (process) This is one of the most interesting pictures in the entire set. It shows James H. Baker's office, Room 108, on the NW corner of the main floor of Old Main in February 1893 showing very clearly what was needed to administer a university. This is one of the pictures JRB took for the University's display in the Columbian Exposition. The calendar is turned to February 1893 and is from the "Mutual Life Insurance Company" which is observing its "Semicentennial 1843-1893" and which is represented by "Richard A. McCurdy." Above the roll top desk across the room is a frame of 12 interior pictures of campus buildings. The top left looks like the chapel. The other top ones are the DeLong Math room (209) but the pictures are not from this set, i.e., 14-3 does not appear here. The frame at the right has 12 exterior pictures which are held in with thumb tacks but the pictures are warped and bowed. The views are easily identified from left to right, top to bottom, (Main in the distance, the President's house at right), (Old Main), (Univ. Lake), (Lake and President's house), (Main - identical with second one above), (construction of Woodbury - this is an earlier picture than on pg. 63 of Glory Colorado), (Woodbury), (the President's house and Main), (Cottage No. 1), (Cottage No. 2), (the Anatomy building), (the Medical building without its west wing). The frame over the desk is similar to the top center one in 14-6 and the frame at right is probably, photographic paper photography (process) This is one of the most interesting pictures in the entire set.
