1.2 Loose
Photographs
Physical Description:
approximately 1,500
photographs
+ 6 negative cases
Scope and Content Note
This subseries contains individual
photographs
arranged geographically, beginning in the Northwest Coast region, heading south through California, and ending with the Southwest.
Tribes are listed within geographic regions.
There are some
photographs
of the same people and scenes in Albums A-F, but the images here are unique and do not appear in the albums. Many of the
photographs
have names or places written on the back by Grace Nicholson.
All images are photographic prints unless indicated: (photographic postcards), (postcards) or other.
Note about attribution of
photographs
: Grace Nicholson and her employee/associate, Mr. Carroll S. Hartman, both took
photographs
during their trips, and in many cases, it is difficult to determine the photographer. Sometimes the same scene was
photographed with two different cameras and film sizes—possibly from cameras each was carrying—see (562-565) and (533-534)
for examples. For this reason, attribution is dual:

Historical note
In 1924, Grace Nicholson hired architects Marston, Van Pelt & Maybury to build a grand Chinese-style building on the site
of her current house.
The new "Grace Nicholson Treasure House of Oriental Art" was devoted to Asian art, with a store, galleries, a Chinese garden
courtyard and an apartment that would
become her new home. The property was eventually deeded to the City of Pasadena in 1943 and became the Pasadena Art Institute,
though Nicholson continued to live there. In 1954, the
Institute was renamed the Pasadena Art Museum. The Pacificulture Foundation founded the Pacific Asia Museum there in 1971.
