DIVISIONS OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND ILLUSTRATION 



The Division of Photography in 1934 produced negatives, prints, 

 enlargements of photographs, lantern slides, and transparent exhibi- 

 tion labels totaling 23,095 in number. These included 280 photo- 

 graphic prints and 59 stereopticon slides for sales on orders placed 

 by the public. The balance were for various uses in Departments 

 and Divisions of the Museum. Of 20,137 prints made, 12,864 were 

 done by relief workers assigned by the federal Civil Works Service 

 and the Illinois Emergency Relief Commission; the balance were 

 made by the Museum's regular photographers. The Division 

 benefited from the assignment of from one to three relief workers 

 throughout most of the year, whose hours of service totaled nearly 

 700. In addition to the making of prints, which included many 

 from negatives obtained through the Joint Project of the Rockefeller 

 Foundation and Field Museum for photographing botanical type 

 specimens in European museums, the relief workers made great 

 progress on the huge task of cataloguing the Division's negative 

 collection (now numbering more than 80,000 negatives). In this 

 work the relief assistants wrote and filed about 30,500 index cards. 



The total number of photogravure prints produced in the Division 

 of Photogravure was 578,820. These were for the illustration of 

 publications and leaflets, for headings of posters, for covers of various 

 published works, and for picture post cards. 



The Museum Illustrator completed 1,238 orders for the Museum's 

 Departments and Divisions. These included 323 pen drawings, 19 

 wash drawings, the coloring of 461 lantern slides, and other miscel- 

 laneous tasks. One relief worker was assigned for a short period to 

 assist the Illustrator in coloring lantern slides and other work.
