BAUSMAN LANTERN SLIDE AND GLASS PLATE NEGATIVE COLLECTION

 

INTRODUCTION

 

The Bausman Glass Plate Negative Collection was accessioned into the Flesh Public Library Archives and Special Collections as a gift by the descendents and heirs of Dr. Joseph E. Bausman.

 

Dr. Joseph E. Bausman was the son of Dr. Albert J. Bausman who practiced medicine from 1895 to 1915 in Pleasant Hill, Ohio.  In 1915 he moved his practice to Piqua, Ohio, where he continued until his death in 1953.  The bulk of the materials in this collection were produced by Dr. A.J. Bausman during his tenure in Pleasant Hill.  Dr. Joseph E. Bausman was born in 1905 in Pleasant Hill.

 

The collection consists of lantern slides, 5x7 glass plate negatives, and 4x5 glass plate negatives.  There are a very few positive prints in the collection.  The collection is housed in eight Hollinger photograph boxes containing 879 files.  There is no restriction on the use of these materials.

SERIES I-J:  [Letter “I” is intentionally omitted]  Lantern slides of Paris, France hand colored.  The slides are in a series entitled “Monuments of Paris.”  The slides are dated circa 1900.

 

SERIES II:  X-ray negatives – 5x7 glass plate negatives.

 

SERIES III:  Hunting and Hunting Trips – 5x7 glass plate negatives – probable dates of the negatives are between 1890 and 1905.

SERIES III-B:  Hunting Trip 1900 – also probably to Mississippi.

SERIES III-C:  Hunting Trip to Michigan – during which the hunters stayed in a log cabin lodge.  NOTE:  These hunting trips were apparently family affairs.  The entire family including children and infants went along.  Probably the ladies and children did not go to the remote hunting sites but remained in or near the main lodge.  In a number of the negatives the ladies are holding guns, leading to the conclusion that the ladies did indeed hunt.
