Eleanor Raymond photographic collection
Item Information
- Title:
- Eleanor Raymond photographic collection
- Description:
-
This collection consists of nine portfolio cases of black and white photographs and one folder of reference material. The photographs in the portfolio cases document Eleanor Raymond and her colleagues’ work on thirty-four homes and represent Raymond’s work from between 1919 to 1940. The photographs themselves are mostly undated, but dates of Raymond’s designs have been included in folder descriptions when possible. Photographs include images of house interiors and exteriors and the surrounding landscapes. Eleanor Raymond believed these three elements to be essential to home design and construction. Historic New England staff members created the reference folder as a supplement to the other items in the collection. This folder includes biographical material and copies of articles about Eleanor Raymond and her architectural work. House Beautiful editor Ethel B. Power is the author of a substantial portion of the magazine articles included. Of additional interest is the Eleanor Raymond Collection in Special Collections, Frances Loeb Library, Harvard University Graduate School of Design in Cambridge, Mass. The collection was donated to Harvard by Raymond and includes additional photographs, project files, architectural drawings, and personal and professional papers including diaries, project notebooks with client names and addresses and cost data for individual projects, journal articles, and a two-volume dissertation by Nancy Gruskin about the life of Eleanor Raymond.
