Collection Description & Creator Information

Scope and Contents

Series 5, Photographs (ca. 1885-1981) includes photographs from almost all periods of Baldwin's life.

This series is divided into four subseries: Events (1950-1981), Personal (ca. 1885-1979), Political Activity (1919-1979), and Portraits (ca. 1906-ca. 1975). The photographs in "Events" are mainly of dinners and other events held in Baldwin's honor. Many prominent people attended these occasions, including Josephine Baker, Edward Kennedy, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., and Marietta Tree. The "Personal" subseries includes baby pictures of Baldwin, photos of him outdoors, pictures of Baldwin's siblings and mother, as well as of both his wives and of his children. Also in this series is the family album of the Chaplin family (Ralph, Edith, and Ivan), some of Baldwin's close friends in the radical movement (Ralph was the editor of an I.W.W. publication). The "Political Activity" subseries contains photographs of various political events in which Baldwin participated, as well as photographs from Baldwin's trips to Japan, Korea, and Germany. The "Portraits" subseries includes formal and informal photographs of Baldwin, as well as some pictures taken of him for a New York Times piece on cookery.
