- Content Details
- Forms part of Sous-fonds II of the Peter and Catharine Whyte fonds. This section of the collection is primarily composed of the photographs of Catharine Robb Whyte's parents Russell and Edith Morse Robb and her paternal grandfather Edward Sylvester Morse. The photographs focus on the Morse-Robb family homes in Concord, Massasschussets, and activities in the New England region. E.S. Morse was a scholar and active traveller who began taking photographs well before the turn of the century. Catharine's father, who was befriended by Morse, also took up photography around 1900, and with the birth of his child, Russell Jr. in 1902, he became a very prolific and competent family photographer. The earliest photographs of Russell Jr. were taken on a 1 1/2 x 2 inch negative format, but by 1904, he had graduated to a much larger 3 1/2 x 6 inch sheet film camera. Individual albums of each of the Robb children were produced, carefully utilizing the large format photographs taken between ca.1904 and 1912. Since she appears in many photographs and Russell is seldom depicted, Edith Morse Robb in not believed to have taken an active part in the early family photography. Photographs attributable to Russell Robb Jr. begin to appear ca.1916 and continue on through his college years at Harvard University. Subject matter centres on his sister Catharine and her friends, his own friends, activities at Harvard, and sailing trips with friends along the New England coast. Most of these photographs were produced by a roll film camera which exposed a 3 x 4 inch negative. Since he lived at the Robb home following graduation from Harvard, Russell Robb Jr. photographs continue on through the late 1920s.
