Background
- Scope and content:
This collection consists of both original and reproduced photographs from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Subjects include Florida, New Jersey resorts, New York, children, the work of Jesse Wooley, and the photograph album of Aubrey Howell. Also included are more than eighty stereo cards from the 1800s which appear three-dimensional through the use of a stereoscope. The original Rinhart collection of photos, daguerreotypes, ambrotypes and tintypes was donated to the University of Miami, Otto Richter Library in Coral Gables, Florida.
The Rinharts also donated a collection of American and European prints from the 1800s that were originally part of a Shaker woman's scrapbook.
