47 x 47 cm. (rotated diagonally in this image) set of 23 cyanotype photographs on cloth, some only partial images. This was owned by Catherine Friel, who says it came to her from her uncle and aunt, Will and Sarah Wallis. She identifies these as having been printed on Pongee silk and then used as a cushion before being taken apart and framed. Images 2-1 and 6-3 seem to both be historical images taken in about 1895. However, the football game in 2-2 took place on Nov. 9, 1901, and every other datable image takes place in an interval included 1901-1902, so we're assuming this cushion to date to late 1901 or 1902. Image contents, identified by row and a left-to-right numbering: 1-1: New Ferry Hall & corner of Thompson Hall (same pic as 4-5); 2-1: Thompson Hall and old College Hall; 2-2: WSC/Oregon football, Rogers Field; 2-3: Unidentified room interior; 3-1: Unidentified football player; 3-2: New Ferry Hall & Murrow Hall; 3-3: Thompson Hall & old College Hall; 3-4: College Hill; 3-5: Edge of old College Hall, with Stevens beyond it; 4-1: Unidentified building (possibly a side view of Stevens Hall?); 4-2: Stevens Hall interior; 4-3: Thompson Hall; 4-4: Silver Lake; 4-5: College Hill; 5-1: Thompson Hall; 5-2: Stevens Hall interior; 5-3: College Farmhouse; 5-4: Unidentified room interior; 6-1: College Hill (old College, Stevens, and the TUB?); 6-2: The TUB; 6-3: Thompson Hall and old College Hall (same pic as 2-1); 7-1: Unidentified room interior; 7-2: Unidentified room interior.
