Photography as a relatively cheap and accessible form of portraiture prompted a change in Quaker attitudes regarding portraiture, which previously was looked down on as a costly and time consuming act of vanity. Instead of commissioning paintings or drawings of themselves, some Quakers would have their silhouettes outlined from a shadow casting. The ease and low cost of photography as opposed to painted portraits created a greater acceptance of portraiture in the Quaker community. Scope and Contents note This collection includes photographs, prints, postcards, tintypes, albums, glass slides, lantern slides, daguerreotypes and cased photographs of various subjects. These images are arranged alphabetically when possible and by subject. The first series contains portraits of American Quakers, the second series portraits of British Quakers. Series III includes images of Quaker groups, both of individuals in groups and of organizations. Series IV contains images relating to Native American missions run by the Society of Friends. Series V contains portraits of international Quakers, while Series VI is general images of Quakers and Quaker dress. Series VII contains portraits and images with non-Quaker subjects. Images of places make up Series VIII; these have an international span although they generally are of locations in the northeastern United States. Tintypes, an early type of photograph made on thin sheets of metal, which only include images of an unidentified Quaker woman, are Series IX. Series X contains miscellaneous and unidentified portraits, which are either unlabeled or include minimal background information to their subject. These are arranged alphabetically by location of the photographer, with entirely unlabeled portraits in a separate folder, and a folder for Civil War portraits. Series XI contains oversized images, including place images, portraits, and Native American subjects. Series XII contains photo albums, most of which were either owned by American Quakers, such as the Taylors, Greenes, and Copes, or contain photos of American Quaker families. Series XIII is glass slides, while Series XIV is lantern slides; both show images of Haverford College and portraits of Quakers. The final series is composed of daguerreotypes and cased photographs, largely consisting of portraits of American Quakers.

  • JAMES LOGAN the Political Career of a Colonial Scholar
    JAMES LOGAN The Political Career of a Colonial Scholar By E. GORDON ALDERFER* A CROSS Sixth Street facing the shaded lawn of Independence Square in Philadelphia, on the plot now hidden by the pomp- ous facade of The Curtis Publishing Company, once stood a curious little building that could with some justice lay claim to being the birthplace of the classic spirit of early America. Just as the State House across the way symbolizes the birth of independ- ence and revolutionary idealism, the first public home of the Loganian Library could represent (were it still standing) the balanced, serene, inquiring type of mind so largely responsible for nurturing the civilization of the colonies. The Loganian, the first free public library in America outside of Boston and by some odds the greatest collection for public use in the colonial era, was the creation of James Logan, occasionally reputed to have been the most learned man in the colonies during the first half of the eighteenth century. Logan journeyed to Amer- ica with William Penn in 1699 as Penn's secretary, and became in effect the resident head of the province. Two years later, when Penn left his province never to return, Logan was commissioned Secretary of the Province and Commissioner of Property. He was soon installed as Clerk of the Provincial Council and became its most influential member in spite of his youthfulness. Even- tually, in 1731, Logan became Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, and, five years later, as President of the Provincial Council, he assumed *Dr. E.

  • Forgotten Heritage: the Landscape History of the Norwich Suburbs
    Forgotten Heritage: the landscape history of the Norwich suburbs A pilot study. Rik Hoggett and Tom Williamson, Landscape Group, School of History, University of East Anglia, Norwich. This project was commissioned by the Norwich Heritage, Economic and Regeneration Trust and supported by the East of England Development Agency 1 Introduction Over recent decades, English Heritage and other government bodies have become increasingly concerned with the cultural and historical importance of the ordinary, ‘everyday’ landscape. There has been a growing awareness that the pattern of fields, roads and settlements is as much a part of our heritage as particular archaeological sites, such as ancient barrows or medieval abbeys. The urban landscape of places like Norwich has also begun to be considered as a whole, rather than as a collection of individual buildings, by planning authorities and others. However, little attention has been afforded in such approaches to the kinds of normal, suburban landscapes in which the majority of the British population actually live, areas which remained as countryside until the end of the nineteenth century but which were then progressively built over. For most people, ‘History’ resides in the countryside, or in our ancient towns and cities, not in the streets of suburbia. The landscape history of these ordinary places deserves more attention. Even relatively recent housing developments have a history – are important social documents. But in addition, these developments were not imposed on a blank slate, but on a rural landscape which was in some respects preserved and fossilised by urbanisation: woods, hedges and trees were often retained in some numbers, and their disposition in many cases influenced the layout of the new roads and boundaries; while earlier buildings from the agricultural landscape usually survived.

  • Norwich Gaol and Prison Images and Information
    Norwich Gaol and Prison Images and Information Reconstruction medieval prison cell at Norwich Castle, with a model of a prisoner sitting under some original medieval prisoners’ graffiti. 1 Castle to prison: the evolution of an iconic building Norwich Castle and Sessions House, 1786 The Castle from the same side in the late 1880s showing prison wings, the turnkey’s office and part of the Governor’s house. Architectural grand schemes: the Sir John Soane and William Wilkins gaols Two of Britain’s leading architects built gaols in and around the Castle in the late 18th and 19th centuries. The Soane gaol was built inside and to the side of Norwich Castle keep in the 1790s. It was replaced with Wilkins ground-breaking radial prison after only 30 years. Aquatint dated 1805, after Robert Ladbrooke (1769-1842). The exterior of Norwich Castle showing the Wilkins gaol walls. The Castle exterior has changed little since. Hand-coloured lithograph after David Hodgson (1798-1864) 2 Rare survivals Rare objects from the Castle’s time as a prison have survived and are displayed and interpreted as part of this project. This stone from the Castle was probably carved in the 13th or 14th centuries and is the earliest direct evidence of a named prisoner here. The text, in Norman French, simply says: ‘Bartholomew, truly wrongfully and without reason, I am shut in this prison’ Rare and important gibbet, a partial survival. The body of Stephen Watson, who murdered his wife and was hanged in 1795, was displayed in this gibbet on Bradenham Common, Norfolk, for 26 years.
