description

Summary

photographic paper photography (process) This shows the interior of a student room in Woodbury with bookcase, chair, radiator and items on table at front. Gamble may have been the student whose room is shown. This appears as "Woodbury No. 5" in 14-6 and so may have been taken in February 1893 or earlier. At the left is the door to the bedroom. In picture on the wall above the left chair is a formally dressed nine-man group that looks like a "Glee and Mandolin Club". The banner "The University of Colorado" on the wall appears to be identical to the one shown in 14-6 as part of the Columbian Exposition. On the table at the front is a large decorative knife (?), a book, a pair of eyeglasses and a couple of other items that I can't identify. A large dictionary is on its own stand and in the corner is a baseball bat and two Indian pins. To the left is a tennis racket and on the floor by the dictionary stand are metal objects that may be ice skates. On top of the bookcase is an album and the complete works of Shakespeare. On the top shelf one can make out the (HOLY BIBLE) and two (THE SKETCH BOOK). On the middle shelf one can make out (DAVID COPPERFIELD) and on the next shelf one can see a ten volume set of (COOPERS WORKS) and (THE GROWING WORLD). This picture is a close companion of 14-11.
