P&P ONLINE CATALOG - TISSANDIER COLLECTION

Arrangement and Access

The Tissandier Collection is organized into groups (called LOTs) according to format or genre and subject. A catalog record summarizes the scope of each LOT. All drawings and prints as well as selected photographs have been digitized and cataloged individually. Variant views and clippings from books and newspapers (generally non-pictorial) are not comprehensively represented online.

A brief listing for each LOT appears below, with an indication of what has been digitized. Items that have not been digitized may be viewed by requesting the LOT in the Prints & Photographs Reading Room.
