Also depicted are factories and industrial equipment, agriculture, firefighters, steamboats and river scenes, zoo animals, and parades. Portraits, identified and unidentified, complete the collection. Glass negatives are arranged by identifier. A numbering system applied by the photographer was retained.

In the year 1828 the Institution of Civil Engineers was organ- ized in London. In the charter of the Institution, Civil Engineering was defined as the "art of directing the great sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man, as the means of produc- tion and of traffic in states, both for external and internal trade, as applied in the construction of roads, bridges, aqueducts, canals, river navigation and docks for internal intercourse and exchange, and in the construction of harbors, moles, breakwaters and light houses, and in the art of navigation by artificial power for the purpose of commerce, and in the construction and adoption of machinery, and in the drainage of cities and towns." For many years this definition has been a classic, regarded as expressing a definite view of the field covered by engineering prac- tice.
