Photographic prints comprise black and white and color photographic prints, photograph albums, portraiture, and cased ambrotypes and daguerreotypes created by or depicting Burr-Allyne family members from the 1840s to the 2000s. Photographs mostly depict the interiors and exteriors of the Burr-Allyne homes; the family’s travels in California and abroad; and San Francisco events such as the 1906 earthquake and fire, the Panama Pacific International Exposition (1915) and the Golden Gate International Exposition (1939-1940). The bulk of the photographs in the collection were taken by Mary Allyne, a photography hobbyist who took many pictures of her family, home and travels; and Alice Burr, a professional photographer who specialized in the Pictorialist style. Alice Burr's photographs include photographic prints, photograph albums, and portraiture, as well as photographs of Spanish-American War volunteers stationed at Camp Merritt, San Francisco, deploying to and returning from Manila, Philippines taken when Burr was a teenager. The framed portraits, cased ambrotypes, and cased daguerreotypes are primarily photographs of family members and unidentified persons. The series also includes a rare death portrait daguerreotype of a deceased infant with its mother.
