Collection comprises photographs of the Paris Peace Conference, most attributed to Brown Brothers, New York. Approximately one half of the photographs in the collection are duplicates, and some are later prints from the era in which they were originally created. Photographs depict the location of the conference at Versailles and elsewhere (Trianon Palace Hotel, the Hall of Mirrors, Hotel Crillon, the Salle d’Horloge, etc.) and the many world leaders, delegates, diplomats, and others in attendance at the conference. People depicted in the photos include Earl Curzon, Winston Churchill, Bonar Law, Col. Edward M. House, Robert Lansing, H. White, and General Bliss. Typical photos are images of the Big Four (David Lloyd George, Vittorio Orlando, Woodrow Wilson, and Georges Clemenceau), the American delegation, German representatives, and the Allied Supreme Council. In addition, the collection is supplemented by six photographs of David Lloyd George, England’s war time chancellor and Prime Minister (one photo of the old cabinet room at Downing Street). These photographs are attributed to Elliot and Fry, Funk & Wagnalls Company, and Brown Brothers, circa 1913-1940.
