The following items have been reported stolen: Title : THE F.B. NIGHTINGALE ARCHIVE PRIVATE STEREO PHOTOGRAPHS OF CHINA : 1920-1921 Authors : Frederick B. Nightingale (1885-195?) Date of publication : 1920-21 Publisher : Frederick B. Nightingale, China Description : OVERVIEW OF THE ARCHIVE These one hundred thirty one stereo photographs, all black and white and all 3 1/2” x 7”, were taken by F.B. Nightingale in 1920 and 1921 in China. He took photographs in Changan (2), Hangchow (45), Harmen (3), Ningpo (1), Palawoo (1), Pu-Tu (14), Shanghai (12), and Soochow (53). Thus he was probably based in Soochow. As far as we are aware these photographs were made for Mr. Nightingale`s private use-they were not published.He identified the subject, noted the location, and made lengthy comments in manuscript on the verso of every stereo photograph. He signed his manuscript comments with his initials (FBN) and dated them as to year. There is some internal evidence which suggests that Mr. Nightingale was an American. There is, however, a reference in the King's College Archives, Cambridge University, to an F.B. Nightingale who did a specifications document. Consequently Mr. Nightingale may be a British subject. Research on the names of the people named on the verso of some photographs may help to clarify his nationality. Further research is needed also to determine Mr. Nightingale`s background.The condition is fine unless otherwise noted, with images crisp and clear. Mr. Nightingale was...
