Annie Burr Lewis, 1903-1959 13.73 Linear Feet

The series holds images of Annie Lewis photographed alone and in activities with friends and family. Her formal portraits start in infancy with images by the Alman & Co. studio, and continue with nationally prominent artists Curtis Bell and Arnold Genthe, and other professional studios in New York and Hartford. Also present in the Portraits subseries is a curiosity: a glass plate negative and two prints of a portrait painted by Ellen Emmet Rand which is similar to—but is not—the painting owned by the Lewises and now in the Lewis Walpole Library.

Annie Burr Lewis and Wilmarth Sheldon Lewis Photographs, 1859-1979, bulk 1900-1959 37.1 Linear Feet

Lewis, W. S. (Wilmarth Sheldon), 1895-1979

The Annie Burr Lewis and Wilmarth Sheldon Lewis Photograph Collection consists of prints, negatives, transparencies, slides, and tintypes that provide visual documentation of the lives, family, friends, and activities of Wilmarth and Annie Burr Lewis. The images range from formal portraits by noted artists such Arnold Genthe and Yousuf Karsh, to hundreds of snapshots taken by friends and family, and by Annie Lewis herself. The material spans a full century in date, from a group of tintypes to photographs of family members through snapshots taken of Wilmarth Lewis before his death in 1979, but most of the images date from the first half of the twentieth century and cover the couple's childhoods through the death of Annie Lewis in 1959.
