The Dr. G. Howard White, Jr. Collection contains images of family members and residences relating to the White family of Catonsville, Maryland and Middleburg, Virginia and the Liebig family of Catonsville, Maryland, as well as recreational, industrial, and general sites in Virginia, Maryland, and New Jersey. The images, taken by Dr. G. Howard White, Jr. and Dr. Gustav Adolph Liebig, both amateur photographers, document everything from informal family gatherings and outings to domestic servants, workers, factories and railroad lines. The acession file includes some genealogical information and research on properties conducted in 2005.
Scope and Contents note:
The Dr. G. Howard White, Jr. Collection includes (203) photographic images dated c. 1890s-1920s taken by amateur photographers Dr. G. Howard White, Jr. and Dr. Gustav Adolph Liebig. It includes a diverse sampling of scenes, from family gatherings, homes, and recreational outings to train depots and railway lines, mill and factory workers, domestic servants, livestock, barns and other agricultural and industrial scenes of everyday life. The majority of the photographs were taken in Catonsville, Maryland, and Virginia; many show the homes (both exterior and interior shots) of the White, Dulany, Liebig and Lemmon families. Some show the Princeton University campus in New Jersey. The collection as a whole is a rich sampling of domestic, recreational, and working life in the mid-Atlantic region at the turn of the twentieth century.
Biographical/Historical note:
Dr. G. Howard White, Jr., the principal photographer of the collection, was born at 'Crednall' in Middleburg, Virginia. Many of the people depicted in the photographs of homesteads (such as 'Argyle' in Ellicott City, Maryland) are related to the White family.
Dr. Gustav Adolph Liebig photographed other images in the White Collection. He lived on an estate known as 'Tanglewood,' believed to be located across the street from the Whites in Catonsville, Maryland. (This may account for why Dr. White ended up with images by Dr. Liebig in his collection.) The Liebig family also features prominently in the White Collection.

Scope and Contents:
The folder includes worksheets, photocopied maps of the area around Tanglewood, biographical and historical information about Tanglewood and the Liebig family, photocopies of images, and other information.
General:
Located in Catonsville, Maryland, Tanglewood was the home of analytical chemist and industrialist Dr. Gustav A. Liebig, his wife Sarah Elizabeth Holland Liebig, and their family. Built in 1886 in the Queen Anne Victorian style, the house was designed by Baltimore architect Jackson C. Gott, while the estate included some 11 acres. The house, grounds, and Liebig family and friends are documented in this series, many of whose images were taken by Dr. Gustav A. Liebig, Jr. Tanglewood continued to be the Liebig family's home until it was sold in 1894 (Dr. Liebig, Sr., died in 1893). After passing through several owners the house was razed, but the name "Tanglewood" was passed on to a housing subdivision built on the site in the 1940s. The Liebig and White families were neighbors in Catonsville. It is possible that Sarah Liebig gave these images and others taken by her son to G. Howard White following the death of Dr. Liebig, Jr., in 1897.

Date:

General:
The 1904 date (from the sleeve enclosing the negative) and details of the handwriting and other information written on the sleeve suggest that this image may have been taken at a location other than Tanglewood (possibly along the Patapsco River), which by 1904 had passed out of the Liebig family's ownership. Other Tanglewood images appear to date between 1886 and 1893.
