Biographical Note

Frank M. Harwood (1857-1932) was a professional photographer in upper New York State. According to a note by his son on the inventory received with the collection, Harwood did not pursue a profession in photography when he relocated to Seattle.

Content Description

The collection consists of stereographs taken largely in Seattle between 1906 and 1909. The largest group depicts scenes at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, including Exposition grounds, buildings, Pay Streak amusements, and exhibits inside Exposition buildings.

Another group documents the May 1908 visit of the Great White Fleet to Seattle, and depicts the battleships, visitors to the ships, and scenes along 2nd Avenue showing crowds and decorated buildings on Naval Parade Day.

Images of Seattle depict regrade operations, the Seattle waterfront, the downtown district, West Seattle and other Seattle locations, such as the Montlake log canal and Washington Park.

Photographs from cities outside Seattle depict Renton, including the Denny-Renton Clay & Coal Company; Vashon Island and Tacoma waterfronts; mills at Mukilteo; and the Everett City Dock.

Many of the stereograph cards are inscribed on the back with location or other descriptive information, and many of the image descriptions are based on these inscriptions.

Processing Note :  

The stereographs were stamped with numbers 0-541 by the photographer. Though much of the collection is loosely grouped by subject in this numerical order, the collection was arranged by subject, resulting in gaps and skips in numbering. Additionally, 26 of the stereographs listed in the inventory which came with the collection are missing, further accounting for gaps in numbering. (Missing stereographs are 44, 49, 66, 83, 264-266, 269, 275, 284, 359, 371, 390, 391, 394, 401, 408-410, 452-455, 476, 517 and 523.)

Information in many of the image titles is taken from writing on the back of the stereograph cards.
