Biographical Note

Frank Townley Chapman (1861-1924) was a patent attorney and amateur photographer active in the Washington, D.C. area. His son, Charles Townley Chapman (1891-1949) shared an interest in photography and later joined in his father’s pursuits. The Chapmans resided in Northeast Washington, D.C. before moving to suburban Kensington, Maryland in the early 1900s. Members of the household included Frank, his wife, Alice Brundage Chapman, and their children: Charles, Margaret, and Katherine. Katherine Chapman would become a prominent family doctor in the Kensington area. Margaret would later marry Thomas H. Tremearne. The two photographers took many shots of the household, as well as extended family members including Frank’s sister, Ella Meritt Chapman Chance.

Subject-wise, the Chapmans documented many instances of late 19th and early 20th century life including the Washington landscape, houses and buildings, commercial portraiture, and athletic and recreational activities among others. Many of the Kensington homes they photographed still stand, though most are unidentified. For a period, the Chapmans also operated their own photography studio.

The Chapmans photographed several historic instances of early aviation in the Washington, D.C. area. Most show early airmail planes and pilots flying out of the College Park Airport. Charles took photographs of two special occasions at the College Park Airport. The first was a publicity stunt by actor Douglas Fairbanks, to raise money for liberty bonds in 1918, with the help of pilot Robert Shank. The second was the 1919 visit from the Postmaster General of Sweden, Dr. Julius Juhlin. He was accompanied by Otto Praeger, the 2nd Assistant US Postmaster General.

During World War I, Charles Chapman served in the U.S. Army Signal Corps and was stationed close to home—in the D.C. metro area. While in the Signal Corps he photographed parades, marches, and soldiers in uniform. The Chapmans lived close to Washington, D.C. during the height of the women’s suffrage movement. Some images show the Silent Sentinels, a group that protested in front of the White House. During the same period, the Chapmans photographed Alice Paul and the headquarters of the National Women’s Party. They also took several pictures of Woodrow Wilson’s second inauguration.

Charles Chapman was also a local tennis champion who represented both the local YMCA and the Columbia Country Club in the mid-1910s. He married Emma C. Gregory in 1919, who together had one son, C. Robert Chapman. Charles moved to Evanston, Illinois in the 1920s and continued his commercial photography career where he would produce motion pictures and manage the regional newsreel divisions for Pathé and Paramount Studios. As the Chapmans stored their photographs together, most of the images cannot be clearly attributed to just one of them. Over the years, the collection of photographs and negatives were spread among family members. Katherine cared for a large portion of the collection until her death in 1986. In 2018, descendants John and Jane Zuke donated much of the Chapman’s glass plate and film negatives to the National Park Service.

Scope and Content Note

Archival collection relating to Frank T. and Charles T. Chapman and their late 19th and early 20th century photography of Washington, D.C., Kensington, Maryland, and surrounding areas. The collection consists of 2,361 glass plates and 39 glass plate manufacturer’s boxes, 3 of which are unopened. The vast majority are glass plate negatives in addition to roughly 200 positive image plates and lantern slides. They vary in size from 8” x 10” to 2 ½” x 8” The collection also includes 303 nitrate and acetate photographic negatives of various sizes ranging from 1 ¾” x 2 ¾” to over 4” x 5”.

Notable National Park Service properties documented include the National Mall and Memorial Parks, Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, various other memorials and statues, the White House, Rock Creek Park, and Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park. The collection also features images of major Washington, D.C. area buildings including the U.S. Capitol, Library of Congress, Old Post Office, Pan American Union building, the U.S. Treasury building, and many others including churches, homes, and businesses.

Also of note is documentation of middle class Edwardian era family life, Kensington, Maryland, various rural and forested landscapes, Woodrow Wilson’s second inauguration, women’s suffrage and anti-war activism, Congress in session, early airplanes and air mail including the first mail plane in the United States, military parades and World War I-era troops, public and street scenes, outdoor activities and recreation, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Vice President Thomas R. Marshall attending 1917 Washington Senators baseball team games. This collection also contains images of a short lived swimming pool by the Washington Monument (1928-1935) and the public Tidal Basin Bathing Beach, which was open from roughly 1913 to 1925.

The collection was donated alongside 117 original glass plate and photo paper boxes from various manufacturers including Eastman Kodak, M. A. Seed, Hammer, Stanley, and G. Cramer among others. Some of these boxes bear witness to an acquisition spree by Eastman Kodak. From 1892 to 1902 Eastman Kodak purchased a number of competitors, until the U.S. government successfully sued Eastman Kodak under the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. Three unopened boxes, containing unused 4” x 5” dry glass plates, were cataloged along with the archival collection.

36 emptied boxes of various sizes and manufacturers were sampled and later incorporated into the collection as Series 10. The remainder were discarded.

The vast majority of the Chapman collection is undated. While the series are given individual date ranges, researchers should first consider the entire collection’s given and estimated dates.

As most of the negatives cannot be clearly attributed to one photographer, credit images to “Frank T. and Charles T. Chapman” unless specified otherwise.

Additionally, broken, emulsion damaged, or odd size glass plates have been physically removed to flat storage sink mat enclosures. However, they remain intellectually arranged with the other plates of their size. The original boxes are stored together, regardless of size. The unopened glass plate boxes were also removed to a separate box.

Series Name: Series 1: Landscapes

Extent of Series: 614 EA

Arranged into four subseries: Subseries A: Monuments, Cityscapes, and Public Buildings; Subseries B: Parks: Subseries C. Homes and Residential Areas; Subseries D: Unidentified Landscapes.

Scope and Content Note: Series 1 consists of landscape shots taken mostly in and around the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. While some photographs include images of unidentified people, people are never the focus of these shots.

Series Name: Subseries 1.A: Monuments, Cityscapes, and Public Buildings

Extent of Series: 218 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: This subseries contains photographs taken in Washington, D.C. of public spaces and buildings. These include photographs of statues, monuments, nonresidential buildings, and aerial photographs. Notable subjects include the U.S. Capitol, Library of Congress, Cityscapes, Churches, and Public Monuments among others.

Series Name: Subseries 1.B: Parks

Extent of Series: 94 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: This subseries contains images of locations that are now in National Parks, though they may not have been when the picture was taken. Most of the images in this subseries document areas which are now the National Mall and Memorial Parks; including the Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial and Tidal Basin, Rock Creek Park, and the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historical Park. There may also be images of Rock Creek Park under subseries 1.D., due to the challenge of identifying locations with no discernable landmarks.

Series Name: Subseries 1.C: Homes and Residential Areas

Extent of Series: 161 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: This subseries contains images of the interiors and exteriors of houses. Many were likely taken in Kensington, Maryland, where the Chapmans lived. Notable subjects include the Chapman’s residences in Kensington and Washington, D.C., as well as other houses in Kensington and other rural and suburban areas.

Series Name: Subseries 1.D: Unidentified Landscapes

Extent of Series: 141 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: Many of the landscape photographs cannot be firmly placed into one category or contain no identifying landmarks. While these photos were likely taken in Maryland, Virginia, or Washington, D.C., their true location is impossible to determine. Many of the photographs in this subseries are of rural or forested landscapes.

Series Name: Series 2: Congressional and Political Documentation

Extent of Series: 45 LF

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: This series primarily contains images of Woodrow Wilson’s 1917 presidential inauguration, Congress in session, and women’s suffrage and anti-war activism. One of the images of Congress shows a joint meeting on September 18, 1919, to welcome General John J. Pershing after World War I. The anti-war photographs show crowds of people wearing armbands and sashes reading “We Want Peace” and “Keep out of War”. The women’s suffrage images include photographs of the Silent Sentinels, a group of picketers who protested from 1917 to 1919. The Silent Sentinels are mostly pictured outside of the White House, but this series also contains images of them marching and gathering outside of National Women’s Party headquarters in Lafayette Square. The women’s suffrage negatives contain images of Alice Paul, Annie Arniel, and other prominent activists. See Series 7 for other possible images of women’s suffrage activism.

Series Name: Series 3: Early Aviation and Transportation

Extent of Series: 136 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: This series includes pictures of airplanes, cars, trains, boats, motor scooters, and horse drawn carts. Charles Chapman was very interested in airplanes and aviation and took many photographs of early flights out of College Park Airfield and over the National Mall. Especially notable in this series are negatives of some of the first scheduled airmail flights at College Park Airfield and piloted by Lt. George Boyle. In 1918, as part of a stunt to raise money for Liberty bonds, the actor Douglas Fairbanks flew with airmail pilots from Maryland to New York and back. Charles Chapman took pictures of Fairbanks posing with pilot Robert Shank at the College Park Airfield. Many of the photographs of trains were likely taken either in Kensington or near the National Mall.

Series Name: Series 4: Signal Corps

Extent of Series: 71 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: During World War I, Charles Chapman served in the U.S. Signal Corps and was stationed in the Mid-Atlantic Region. All photographs depicting servicemen or military parades or exercises are grouped under the Signal Corps series, because while the servicemen depicted may not be part of the Signal Corps, Chapman was acting under the Signal Corps when he took those photographs. Subjects of note include military parades, marches, soldiers, and officers. Several film negatives appear to be taken in France, though it is unclear if they were created in Charles Chapman’s official capacity. See Series 9.A for additional wartime images.

Series Name: Series 5: Portraits

Extent of Series: 906 EA

Arranged into two subseries: Subseries A: Chapman Family Portraits and Subseries B: Unidentified Portraits.

Scope and Content Note: As photographers, the Chapmans probably made most of their income from creating portraits of middle-class people in the Washington area. They also took many photographs of themselves and their family. Series 5 contains portraits as well as images where people are the focus and do not overlap with any other series subject.

Series Name: Subseries 5.A: Chapman Family Portraits

Extent of Series: 471 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: This subseries includes identified pictures of the immediate Chapman family household, as well as some images of extended family members. The photographs include candid shots as well as posed and studio portraits. Some, but not all, of the pictures are dated. See the History section for more details about the Chapman household.

Series Name: Subseries 5.B: Unidentified Portraits

Extent of Series: 435 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: This subseries includes mostly studio portraits, as well as candid and informal photographs. Many of the people pictured in this subseries were likely clients of the Chapman’s photography studio; they are well dressed and are posing for the camera, rather than caught unaware. Most of the images in this subseries are undated. Due to the lack of identifying information, most of the folders have very general titles, like “Unidentified Women.” When possible, the folders were given more specific names, like “Men in Washington, D.C.”, but in many cases there are no clear landmarks or other identifiers to be used to place these photographs.

Series Name: Series 6: Recreation

Extent of Series: 404 EA

Arranged into three subseries: Subseries A: Athletics; Subseries B: Recreation and Leisure; and Subseries C: Animals.

Scope and Content Note: Series 6 covers all forms of athletics, from professional baseball to children’s sports at the YMCA. This series also features images of people engaging in recreational activities, like dancing, canoeing, and playing with animals. Some of the photographs in this series do not show people engaging in a hobby, but do show the aftermath, like a group of photos of flower arrangements or a photograph of a child’s art project. Photographs of animals are also grouped under this series, as most of these photographs are of animals in a recreational setting.

Series Name: Subseries 6.A: Athletics

Extent of Series: 159 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: Subseries 6.A. includes pictures of many forms of athletics. Most notable in this subseries might be photographs of the Washington Senators baseball team or photographs of the swimming beach on the Tidal Basin near the National Mall, which closed in 1925. Chapman also took dozens of pictures of a public pool near the Washington Monument, which was operational from 1928 to 1935. This subseries also includes pictures of races, tennis, YMCA activities, and amateur basketball teams.

Series Name: Subseries 6.B: Recreation and Leisure

Extent of Series: 181 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: Most of the photographs in subseries 6.B. show people during their leisure time, relaxing or doing activities that are enjoyable to them. Many of the pictures in this subseries were taken at a YMCA or YMCA summer camp. Other pictures show people relaxing, participating in hobbies, or just playing around. Within the collection’s film negatives, three envelopes were discovered which document two vacations and a Christian Endeavors conference in Buffalo, New York. They include a mixture of recreational, landscape, and portrait images. They are included in this subseries as they were created in a recreational context.

Series Name: Subseries 6.C: Animals

Extent of Series: 64 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: The majority of animal photographs in the Chapman Collection are taken in a recreational setting. This subseries includes many pictures of zoo animals, possibly at the Washington National Zoo. There are also pictures of wild and domesticated animals common in the Mid-Atlantic, like deer, turkeys, and horses.

Series Name: Series 7: Events and Performances

Extent of Series: 42 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: Series 7 covers public events or performances that would not be considered military or political in nature. This series includes images of plays, parades, and public marches. Alice Paul is pictured riding in a car in one of the parade images.

Series Name: Series 8: Industry

Extent of Series: 78 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: Series 8 documents workplaces and working people. The series includes photographs taken inside dental and medical schools, along with pictures of workshops, street vendors and newsboys, industrial settings, and men and women sitting at desks inside office buildings.

Series Name: Series 9: Purchased and Copied Images

Extent of Series: 368 EA

Arranged into nine subseries: Subseries A: Wartime Images; Subseries B: Landscapes; Subseries C: Other Cultures; Subseries D: Art; Subseries E: Early Aviation and Transportation; Subseries F: Recreation; Subseries G: Portraits; Subseries H: Presidents and First Ladies; and Subseries I: Human Anatomy and Microscopic Images.

Scope and Content Note: The Chapman family bought a number of pre-made lantern slides and occasionally made copies of other images by taking a photograph of them. This series includes all the images not created by the Chapmans, or ones taken by the Chapmans with reason to believe they did not create the original image. Many of these images are positive lantern slides. The original artists of most of these images are unknown.

Series Name: Subseries 9.A: Wartime Images

Extent of Series: 71 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: As Charles Chapman was stationed near Washington, D.C. during World War I, it is unclear if he ever traveled to Europe to photograph the war there. He was, however, interested in the war in Europe as evidenced by the slides he collected showing aerial views of trenches, groups of soldiers, and bombed buildings. Several plates of note feature groups of Belgian soldiers and dogs hauling Maxim machine guns, possibly in Washington, D.C. during the 1919 Victory Liberty Loan drive. These images may have been taken by Charles Chapman but are included in this subseries as their location could not be fully confirmed. This subseries also contains lantern slides depicting images of the Spanish-American War. While there were originally 48 images divided onto twelve glass slides, four of the slides are missing from the set. An inventory is included with the slides

Series Name: Subseries 9.B: Landscapes

Extent of Series: 31 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: This subseries includes landscape images of both the Washington, D.C. area and other varied locations. Subjects of note include the U.S. Capitol, significant D.C. buildings, and various houses.

Series Name: Subseries 9.C: Other Cultures

Extent of Series: 70 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: This subseries primarily consists of positive lantern slides depicting people or scenes from cultures very different from Chapman’s middle-class Americana. Many slides in this subseries contain images of Pacific Islanders in addition to tropical and Middle Eastern landscapes.

Series Name: Subseries 9.D: Art

Extent of Series: 32 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: This subseries contains images of non-photographic artwork. Among others, it includes lantern slides of comics or cartoons, photographs of paintings and dioramas, and a set of lantern slides that appear to show lines created from setting a pendulum in motion.

Series Name: Subseries 9.E: Early Aviation and Transportation

Extent of Series: 12 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: This series features images representing early aviation and other forms of transportation from this era. Of note are images of biplanes and triplanes and multiple copies of what appears to be an airplane engine workshop.

Series Name: Subseries 9.F: Recreation

Extent of Series: 5 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: This small series includes miscellaneous recreation-focused images not originally taken or created by the Chapmans.

Series Name: Subseries 9.G: Portraits

Extent of Series: 55 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: This subseries includes portraits most likely not taken by either of the Chapmans. Some are copies of earlier photographs while others contain a maker's mark or other visible indicator linking them to another photographer or studio. Subjects of note include relatives of the Chapmans and portraits of a Sunday School class attended by Charles Chapman.

Series Name: Subseries 9.H: Presidents and First Ladies

Extent of Series: 25 EA

Arranged alphabetically by last name

Scope and Content Note: This subseries contains various portraits of U.S. Presidents and first ladies. All of the images are copies of various etchings and sketches.

Series Name: Subseries 9.I: Human Anatomy and Microscopic Images

Extent of Series: 67 EA

Arranged alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: This subseries includes photographs of human x-rays and a human anatomy textbook in addition to photos most likely taken with the aid of a microscope.

Series Name: Series 10: Original Glass Plate Boxes

Extent of Series: 39 EA

Arranged by size in descending order, then alphabetically

Scope and Content Note: Much of the collection was previously housed in the original photographic plate manufacturer’s boxes. This series includes a selection of 36 empty boxes for plates ranging in size from 3” x 4” to 8” x 10”, as well as 3 unopened 4” x 5” plate boxes. Some of the brands include Seed’s, Cramer’s, Hammer, Eastman’s, Carbutt’s, Keystone, and Standard; many of which are noted as subsidiaries of Eastman Kodak. Some boxes also include retail stickers from various photography stores in Washington, D.C. Also included in the selection are comparable photo paper boxes and the original box for the Spanish-American War lantern slides.
