Writings. Alfred Stieglitz: An American Seer. Illustration nos. 51-81, undated

 File — Box: 3, Folder: 18

Scope and Contents

From the Sub-Series:

Norman compiled an extensive number of copyprints of Stieglitz's work, as well as that of the other artists, whom she categorized in her files as "Stieglitz Group from 291 on." Most of the copyprints are pasted on paper, numbered and captioned, indicating their use for publication. It is unclear as to which writings these images were intended, except for those with a 2x2 paper label attached. In those cases, the penciled-in illustration number (Ill. No.) coincides with those in "Alfred Stieglitz: An American Seer." While a number of those images have been filed here under the publication title, additional images having the same labeling, are included in the other folders as Norman grouped them by topic rather than use. A significant number of copyprints remain in the original acetate sleeves because of the small label attached. Written on every label is: "after DNS T" followed by a number unique to that image. To date, the meaning of this coding is unknown. In addition to copyprints, some images are clippings, that is the image as reproduced in a publication. A few others are photostats.
