Perkins, Samuel Elliot III. Collection, 1896-1938. P 0053. Approximately 200 black-and-white snapshots made or collected by Samuel Elliot Perkins III between 1896 and 1938. The photographs have a documentary quality. Perkins made photographs of soldiers departing for World War One, and attempted to capture bicycle racers in motion. He successfully photographed the racers standing beside their bicycles. Perkins annotated a number of photographs with the month, date, time, and prevailing weather conditions. Bridges, parks, and views of the White River are featured in snapshots of Indianapolis. Perkins also photographed automobiles, particularly on journeys with this family across Indiana. It may have been on these journeys that he photographed covered bridges and natural features in Adams, Wayne, Washington, Franklin, and Brown Counties. A small number of photographs are affixed to the verso of letters addressed to Perkins. Samuel Elliot Perkins IV donated the collection to the Indiana Historical Society in 1975.
