TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT 103 
DEPARTMENT OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND PUBLICATION 
ELWIN R. SANBORN, Editor and Photographer; ANNA NEWMAN, Assistant. 
Photography.—In 1919, the photographic work comprised 
various construction subjects and other details about the Park, 
copies of drawings, printed matter and antlers. The series of 
birds and reptiles included the Magellan upland geese and young, 
homing pigeons, emus and young, mute swans and cygnets and 
Chilian sea eagles. Among the mammals photographed were 
polar bear cubs, Kobuk River bear, Kodiak bear, Alaskan brown 
bear, Russian bear and cubs, Bactrian camels, kangaroos, a series 
of pictures of the young Grant zebra, lynx, and eland and young. 
Several views of the tank systems at the Aquarium, of beaver 
works at the Beaver Pond, and of the Pheasant Aviary were 
taken. 
Exhibitions.—An exhibit of the principal buildings, animal 
enclosures, publications and many animals and birds of the 
Park in the form of enlargements was prepared and loaned to 
the St. Louis Public Library. The pictures were all matted and 
labeled, the animal subjects were colored, and the covers of 
all the publications were mounted, matted and titled. The col- 
lection, which included a large colored map of the Park and 
gave a most comprehensive idea of the scope of the Society’s 
work, was most warmly commended by the Custodian of the 
St. Louis Library. 
Bulletin. —Six numbers of the Bulletin were issued, but 
not without great difficulty, and some tribulation. Added to the 
lack of new arrivals among the animal collections which fur- 
nishes a needed source of material, was a strike among the 
printers. So effectual was the latter that for several months 
little or no work was done in any printing shop in New York 
City. And even after the men consented to work, there was 
a deplorable want of professional pride and a consequent appal- 
ling mass of mistakes, heartbreaking delays and mediocre results 
in the completed job. Nothing was certain, and the task of 
following the erratic movements and efforts of the printers 
was the most severe by far that this department ever experi- 
enced. It is hardly necessary to speak of the mounting costs of 
printing, except to say that if they had decreased as much as 
they have advanced, we now would be paying practically noth- 
ing for our work.
