    Processing Information

    The panoramic negatives underwent conservation treatment in 2005. They were humidified, flattened and housed in mylar by Ann Lindsey, project conservator.

Patrons are responsible for assuming the cost of digitally stitching the image together by the Huntington’s Media Lab.
    The 5 x 7 inch and 8 x 10 inch copy prints were created from original negatives. The prints were organized, labeled, and rehoused prior to 2006. In May 2006, Sue Luftschein created this finding aid using the organizational and numbering scheme established in the original rehousing. Since the collection came into the Huntington in 1976, many negatives have deteriorated and are housed in separate boxes; all negatives are in cold storage. Between 1993 and 1997, interpositives were made of all the 8 x 10 inch negatives which were showing signs of rapid deterioration.

    Historical Note

    The "Dick" Whittington Studio was the largest photography studio in the Los Angeles area from 1924 to 1987. Founded by Wayne Whittington, the Studio specialized in commercial photography, taking previous hit photographs next hit for nearly every major business and organization in Los Angeles; in so doing, they documented the growth and commercial development of Los Angeles. The Studio’s clients included department stores, oil companies, real estate developers, food service companies, television and radio broadcast companies, automobile manufacturers and related industries, aircraft manufacturers, construction firms, and the entertainment industry. They also photographed the 1932 Olympics and the National Air Races of 1933 and 1936. Another notable client was the University of Southern California, which contracted with the Whittington Studios for coverage of athletic and other events.
    Wayne Whittington was born and raised in Los Angeles near Exposition Park. He attended Manual Arts High School and then the University of Southern California. After graduation, he served in the Signal Corps in World War I. He founded the Studio after leaving his first business venture, the Acme Tire Company.
    Whittington adopted the name of his studio from a historical figure who was the subject of a popular children’s story, "Dick Whittington and His Cat." Dick Whittington was an orphan who, in the late 14th century, traded his cat for funds to become a merchant, and then rose to Lord Mayor of London. The name inspired the Tudor architecture of the Studio, located at 3845 Wisconsin Street near the University of Southern California, and also the use of a cat as its logo.
    "Dick" Whittington Studio experienced its greatest growth during the 1930s, at which time it employed 27 people. During this period, it launched a news-picture division, taking previous hit photographs next hit to supplement the wire services and the photographic departments of local newspapers. This led to work for Life magazine and other national publications, and to the establishment of an in-house stock previous hit photograph next hit library. The Studio also created the Trav-l Lab, a self-contained processing lab on wheels with a thirty-foot extension ladder that allowed photographers to take elevated shots.
    World War II saw the loss of a number of personnel and a decline in business due to the rationing of silver and paper. The Studio made its facilities available to the United States government, and the Navy agreed to use them under contract, an arrangement that lasted for fifteen years. The Studio remained in active business until 1987.
