Photographs by Danford Newton Barney [an excerpt from The Yale University Library Gazette Vol. 27, No. 4 (April 1953)]

New Haven, Connecticut: Yale University, 1953. An excerpted loose leaf from the Yale University Library Gazette. Single leaf folded; [4] pp. 6.5" x 10. Single unbound leaf folded, [4] pages total. Some toning to paper and three very small tears at edge of paper though not bad; else very good. An excerpted loose leaf from the Yale University Library Gazette. Single leaf folded; [4] pp. 6.5" x 10" Danford Newton Barney (b.1892 - d.1952) was a poet and photographer who from 1922 until 1930 maintained a photographic studio in New York where he made a series of portraits of authors and artists. Five stunning portaits of Barney's were featured in The Yale University Library Gazette [Vol. 27, No. 4; pg. 151-157 (April 1953)]. The subjects were Irish novelist Donn-Byrne, actress Ruth Draper, poet and Pulitzer Prize winner Sara Teasdale, humorist Irvin S. Cobb, and Welsh painter and etcher Augustus John. Also featured was a photograph of Barney himself, in memoriam, as he'd died the previous year. This is an excerpt from that issue featuring the bold black and white images of the first four of those figures, though John's portrait and the one of Barney are absent here.
