Whittredge, Worthington, 1820-1910  Search this
Extent:
(Box 2, 5, OV 6-9; 0.6 linear feet)
Type:
Archival materials
Date:
circa 1840s-1902
Scope and Contents note:
Six sketchbooks and loose drawings and painting studies by Worthington Whittredge primarily document scenes from his travels in the American mid-west and west, Europe, and Mexico. An 1849 sketchbook documents his trip down the Rhine River to Düsseldorf, Germany, and includes pencil and ink sketches of the Rhine River valley, such as panoramic landscapes, architectural ruins, vegetation, and people. The 1857-1861 sketchbook contains sketches done while in Rome, including landscapes and figure sketches. The 1874-1897 sketchbook includes sketches and watercolors documenting his travels in Mexico in the late 1890s. Three additional sketchbooks include sketches of landscapes, figures, vegetation, and animals. Some of the sketches contain annotations such as the date and location.

Loose drawings and paintings include numerous landscape drawings by Whittredge, drawn from nature during his travels in Germany, Switzerland, and Rome in the 1850s, as well as his travels throughout the Midwest and New England during the 1860s and 1870s. Most of the drawings are not labeled or dated. There are several watercolor sketches of landscapes, three large drawings of the Lagio Maggiore, a lake in Italy, and several drawings and paintings of people, including Roman peasants. Also found here are sketches of trees and miscellaneous drawings of animals and other objects. Additionally, there are two pencil drawings, one watercolor, and one print of artwork by Wilhelm Camphausen, a Düsseldorf painter of historical scenes.

Scope and Contents:
Series 3: Diné (Navajo) is the largest series in the Helga Teiwes collection. Though the dates range from 1969-2002 the majority of the photographs were taken in 1979-1980 and then in 1989-1990. The Navajo Nation covers over 27,000 square miles in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah and is the largest land area held by a sovereign Native American nation. This series is divided into seven subseries and includes media of all types including slides, negatives, prints and transparencies. Artists and Artisans (Subseries 3.1) includes photographs of jewelers, potters, painters and weavers at work and with their families. People and Families (Subseries 3.2) includes photographs of Diné (Navajo) families and individuals across the Navajo Nation. Of particular note are the photographs of the Greyeyes family, particularly of Bessie Salt Greyeyes. Additional series include photographs of Industry and Agriculture (Subseries 3.3), Trading Posts and Markets (Subseries 3.4), Places (Subseries 3.5), School (Subseries 3.6) and Other Topics (Subseries 3.7). Most of the photographs in this series have been identified by Teiwes and it is evident that she maintained a close relationship with the Greyeyes family during her many trips to Tsegi Canyon where they lived. As with much of the rest of her collection, this series includes a mix of intimate portraits, landscape views, event photography and group photgraphs. In 1991, 160 photographs that Teiwes took among the Diné were used to illustrate Wolfgang Lindig's book Navajo: Tradition and Change in the Southwest which was published in German. An english translation was published in 1993.
