Content DescriptionReturn to Top
The collection consists of 42 black and white photographs dating from Hendrik Baarslag’s 1927-1932 days as a student at Washington State College.
The photographs are believed to have been taken by Baarslag or his friends. A small number of the photographs have a Graves Studio stamp on the back; it is unclear if Graves took those photographs, or merely developed them.
