Reginald Marsh papers, 1897-1955

Subseries consists of photographs of Marsh's family, some of which are loose and some of which are on pages from a photograph album. Though the individuals in the photographs are typically not identified by name, it is possible to identify Marsh's parents, siblings and Marsh himself as a child amongst some of the photographs. Also included are a picture postcard of Marsh as a young man with some friends; photographs of friends, Augustus Kelly and Llewelyn Powys; and various unidentified photographs presumably collected by Marsh. Photographs are arranged in rough chronological order.

Subseries consists of photographs of Marsh at work as an artist. Photographs taken by Gene Pyle show Marsh observing and sketching the crowds and scenes in and around what is most likely Coney Island. Other photographs (photographer unknown) show Marsh sketching people on the streets of New York and painting in his studio.

Subseries consists of photographs of Marsh's art work, both loose and in disbound photograph albums. Volume 3 of the albums solely contains photographs of the murals he did for the New York Customs House and the Post Office Department, Washington, D.C. Album pages, which were removed from their 3-ring binders at some previous time, are often annotated with information about a particular art work, including title, date, and notes on the owner or disposition of a work. Loose photographs, also presumably compiled by Marsh, are organized according to particular project or exhibition. Many, if not all, of the miscellaneous photographs were compiled and/or reproduced by Norman Sasowsky for use in his catalog of Marsh's art work. Many of these are duplicates of those found in the albums.
