Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The Lucien A. Barnes photograph collection contains forty-six images that were taken primarily between 1900 and 1920. There are some images, however, that predate that to as early as the 1870s and as late as the 1930s. The collection consists of portraits taken of Lucien A. Barnes and various members of his family including his father, wife, brother, and other family members. Also included in the collection are photographs taken of Lucien’s farm. Some of these images include the farmhouse, haying, threshing, and other farming operations. The collection is a mix of both amateur and professional images. Those images that were taken by a professional photographer are either cartes-de-visite or cabinet cards although there are some that are larger. The amateur photographs taken are of various sizes. All of the photographs in the collection are black and white. The collection was arranged into two series: Portraits and Farm. The photographs were accessioned as part of the personal and business papers and of Lucien A. Barnes. The manuscripts were processed as Institute Mss 189.
The Portrait Series consists of twenty-nine black and white images. The portraits range in date from the 1870s to the 1930s. These portraits are both professional and amateur images. Most of the professional portraits were taken in Delavan, Wisconsin where the family lived before moving to North Dakota. The professional shots taken in Fargo that have the photographer identified were taken by F. Jay Haynes. Most of the images are of Lucien A. Barnes, his wife Mary, and their son A.H. Barnes and his family. There is one image of Lucien’s father Judge A.H. Barnes, after whom Barnes County, N.D. was named. Also in this series are photographs that were identified but the relationship to the Barnes family is unknown. These include portraits of Captain John Kent (?), Mrs. Judge J.H. Barnes, daughter of Judge Allen of Racine, Wisconsin, Bertha I. Hautsmann (?), and Fred Irish (?). In addition, there are identified portraits depicting a woman named Anne with various other people. Again, it is unsure of how Anne is related to the Lucien A. Barnes family.
The Farm Series consist of seventeen images taken mostly within the first twenty years of the 1900s and all are black and white prints. The photographs in this series depict various scenes taken on the Lucien A. Barnes farm. The series includes three images of farmhouses including two different homes and an interior of the parlor of the Lucien A. Barnes home. There are also images of outbuildings on the farm including the cookhouse and barns. The series also includes images of various farming operations including binding grain, haying, and threshing machines.
