of Marion E. Warren, a photographer in Annapolis, MD. There are some views

color negatives, and color tranparencies. The Maryland photographs cover
the entire state, and the subjects include sailing, skipjacks, watermen,
fishing, crabbing, and oystering on the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries;
tobacco farming and other agriculture, urban renewal in Baltimore City,
street scenes, state and national parks, historic homes in Annapolis and
throughout the state, aerials, and businesses and industry, including the
work of Maryland architectural firms. The people of Maryland, at work and
at play, are a major subject of the photographs in this collection, not
only through the portraits and weddings Mr. Warren has photographed, but
also through the candid shots he has done over his 60 year career. The
collection also contains many copy photographs made by Mr. Warren both
during his years as a professional photographer and during the work he
did on the books he and his daughter Mame published. Since Mr. Warren is
still actively photographing Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay, the collection
