COLLECTION AND RESEARCH PHOTOGRAPHS

Collection Creator:
Knez, Eugene I. (Eugene Irving), 1916-2010  Search this
Type:
Archival materials
Date:
undated
1946-1977
Scope and Contents note:
The images in this series document cultural object collections, people, culture, and geographical locations. The initial basis for the description to this series comes from the finding aid written by Barbara Coons in April 1980. Additional information about the collections have been found since that date and additional images have been transferred to the Knez papers after 1980. As a result, the series description and notes to specific collections have been revised. Most of the photographic materials which comprise this series were collected from various sources by Knez and relate to his work as Curator of Asian Anthropology at the National Museum of Natural History (previously the United States National Museum), Smithsonian Institution. A good segment of the photographic materials in this series document the arts, crafts, buildings, and people of the Pakistani states of Sind and Baluchistan. Because most of the photographs were labeled "West Pakistan," it can be assumed that they were taken prior to December, 1971, when war separated Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan) from Pakistan (formerly West Pakistan). The remainder of the series includes photographs of Thailand, Tibet, pictures of the opening of a 1973 Smithsonian exhibition on Bhutan, objects in a Korean Art exhibition, a Chinese temple, Japanese folk art, Korean art, culture, and archeology, and India. Photographs documenting Knez's family dating back to the 1930s, field trips in the Southwest around the late 1930s, his army activities during World War II, photographs taken in Korea from around the 1920s to the 1940s and during the Korean War will be found under series thirteen, biographical and autobiographical material. Photographs may also be found in the series subject file, exhibitions, and research projects. Some of the photographic content overlap between all of these series. There are also some photographs in the geographical and publication series. This series consists of black and white prints (many with negatives), color prints and negatives, color slides, glass plates, postcards, and photo cards.

Place:
Hidden Glen Farms (Meadowbrook, Pennsylvania)
United States of America -- Pennsylvania -- Montgomery County -- Abington Township -- Meadowbrook
Scope and Contents:
The folder includes a worksheet, a copy of the garden plan, and three photos of the original Charles Gale installation from ca. 1983 (two of the same view).
General:
Like its neighbor, Hidden Glen Farms (PA348), Hidden Glen features design work by landscape designer Charles Gale. Although a basic garden was in place at the time of Gale's 1983 design, he incorporated the vegetable garden into the overall site plan, while adding a side garden and improving planting around the foundation of the house. Folk art ornaments and sculptures of birds and animals accented the plant material. The garden is noted for its incorporation of colonial (eighteenth-century) design elements in a contemporary setting.
Persons associated with the property include: Charles Gale (landscape designer, 1982); G. Edwin Brumbaugh (architect, 1937, 1966, 1969); Owen B. Schmidt & Sons (landscape architects, 1968); and John Milner (architect, 1981 and 1989).
Related Materials:
Hidden Glen related holdings consist of 1 folder (24 35 mm. slides)
