C.W. McCall Collection of Josiah Strong Family Papers

Photographs from the Holy Land, Mounted on Board
 
A collection of photographs from a variety of sources that record the locations visited by Dr. Strong as part of the "Celtic" voyage to the Near East in 1902.  Many of the photographs were reproduced for sale by the American Colony in Jerusalem.  The Colony, a utopian experiment that began in the late nineteenth-century in Jerusalem, supported itself by the sale of photographs, art and craft.  Starting in 1898 the Colony photographed extensively in the Holy Land, the Middle East and in the city of  Jerusalem. Photographers whose work is represented in the Colony images may include: Lewis Larsson, Lars Lind, John Whiting, Frank Baldwin, and Eric Matson.  Many of the photographic works and documents from the Colony were included in the collection of Valentine Vester donated to the Library of Congress.  A large number of materials associated with the Vester donation was exhibited at the Library of Congress in 2007. (See:  www.loc.gov/exhibits/americancolony/ ) The collected work of Eric Matson is housed in the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division. Individual photographers are not generally noted on the photographs in this collection, nor are the works dated.  It is assumed that the images were purchased the year of the Celtic voyage, 1902, but may represent later purchases.  They were most likely used in the many lectures that Josiah Strong presented.

Items in the collection are not numbered and have been given a number sequence by the D.H. Ramsey Library Special Collections staff.  Where possible, the photographic work of the American Colony in Jerusalem has been identified in the description, though not all photographs are inscribed and their source is not known.
