Collection Overview
Title:
[Chinese American identification photographs, some perhaps from Ellis Island]Abstract:
Identification photographs and other portraits of Chinese American men mounted on two album leaves. A few images were taken
against a backdrop of cell bars, perhaps at the immigration and/or detention facilities of Ellis Island. A few men are depicted
from both the front and in profile; only one ("Yung Yuen") is identified. Hand-written captions on backs of both leaves, describing
photographs no longer present, refer to miscellaneous points of interest from a cross-country trip -- i.e. Ellis Island and
various locations in New York, Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota and Wyoming.
