BOX 48-52, 56-57 MAPCASE-FOLDER 1-5 Photographs and Iconography, 1897-1960s
The photographs, posters, and painting document Farrar's life and career. In addition to the many individual photographs, there are also two boxes of photographs (box 49, folders 5-8 and box 50) that were originally bound in two scrapbooks containing only photographs. The posters are primarily for movie promotions, though there is one concert poster. A large painting of Farrar by Friedrich August von Kaulbach is currently located in the Music Division administrative offices.
