Photographic materials are of Wilhelm Valentiner, his immediate and extended family members, and his friends. Family members include parents, siblings, and nieces and nephews, among others. Photos of Valentiner date from his youth, military service in Germany, and his personal and professional career in the U.S. Photographs of friends include artists, art scholars, collectors, and family friends, including Diego Rivera, Alberto Giocometti, Maria Sarre, Helen Wills Moody Rorke, and Anne Morgan, the daughter of Pierpoint Morgan. There are also a handful of reproductions of artwork used as scholarly references in his writings.

Two photo albums focus on Valentiner’s family and friends from his youth in Germany, and Valentiner with family members later in his life.

Materials are arranged by subject and document type.
