AC 2000.1 - ARTIFACTS
SERIES DESCRIPTION
Series 13, Artifacts, designated AC 2000.1, consists of 66 artifacts, including 49 photo-ceramic tiles, 9 other examples of photo-ceramics, 1 ribbon, 3 photo cases, and 2 glass plates and 2 plaster molds that are illustrative of Ives’ Photographic Process.
The photo-ceramic tiles comprise the bulk of the artifacts, reflecting the hobby of C. F. Himes to emblazon photographic images onto ceramics. Notes regarding his experimentation with this process are to be found among his papers. These tiles come in a variety of sizes. In addition to these tiles, there are a few examples of Himes' use of this photo-ceramic process on china. The photo-ceramics are arranged alphabetically according to the following four categories: Dickinson College; Gleiburg Castle, Germany; Himes Family; and Illustrations from Children's Books. Individual artifacts are then arranged alphabetically by the title or subject of the image within these categories, with the date of the original image being included whenever possible. When the photo-ceramic image corresponds to an image in PC 2000.1, the Photograph Series, the image number has been indicated.
