TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT 95 
repairs have become imperative. At the present time, the most 
serious weakness has been temporarily supported by a truss. 
Additional storage room is badly needed in the Service Yard, 
and if the $15,000 once informally agreed to by the Board of 
Estimate and Apportionment about a year and a half ago, can- 
not be made available, some temporary structures must be added 
to the present equipment. 
The task before this department, in order to rehabilitate the 
Park, is at least as great as it was a year ago, but with the 
present outlook of lower material costs and greater availability 
of materia! as well as labor, it is hoped that a grand cleanup of 
all of the important items can be made during the coming season, 
if sufficient funds can be appropriated. 
DEPARTMENT OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND PUBLICATION. 
ELWIN R. SANBORN, Editor and Photographer; ANNA NEWMAN, Assistant. 
Photography.—The photographic work during the past year 
of 1920 comprised the usual details of this department in making 
various phases of construction records, copying drawings and 
paintings, still life subjects and the living collections. Some of 
the subjects photographed were Bactrian camel and young, yak, 
Polar bear, eyra cat, giant ant-eater, otter, Rocky Mountain 
sheep, chimpanzee, alligators, panda, onager, black-tailed deer, 
musk-ox, wapiti, hog deer, barasingha deer, sika deer, zebra, 
llama, alpaca, tree duck, dromedary, lung-fish, feather-tailed 
mouse, opossum mouse, wild-fowl, tree toad, Belgian Expedition, 
Roosevelt Day events at the Italian Gardens, and various detail 
work such as construction, still life, maps, copies, etc. No doubt 
the cessation of the war inspired a welcome relief that was experi- 
enced among all classes, stimulated business, and aroused many 
dormant crafts to renewed life. This change was manifested 
materially in a greatly increased demand for photographs for 
publications, advertisements and for the use of sculptors, artists, 
taxidermists and designers. One publisher alone used over 200 
photographs in his publications. This Department is now recog- 
nized among the publication and news offices of New York as a 
source of supply. The demands for pictures are increasing 
yearly.
