All of the
photographs in this exhibition are from the collections of the Maryland
State Archives. At the suggestion of the House Facilities Committee, the
chairmen of the county delegations were asked to select photographs from
their own counties. Many of the photographs in this online exhibition are
the photographs chosen by the chairmen. However, some selected images were
not permitted to be exhibited on the web due to copyright restriction,
and in such cases other images have been substituted. The photographs are
the works of both gifted amateurs and professional photographers around
the state, including Marion E. Warren, Hervey Laney, Henry Schaefer, Henry
Rinn, Jr., Robert Sadler, Leo J. Beachy, J. D. Byerly, Howard Hanford Hopkins,
Watt Thompson, E. H. Pickering, Vernon Dorsey, and C. D. Young.
