Arrangement note
The collection is divided into two series. The first series contains photographs of statues and fountains from throughout at the twentieth century. While many of the folders in the first series are dated, these dates may not be entirely representative of the materials in the folders, as many of the photographs are undated. The second series is made up of textual documents related to the fountains and statues throughout Philadelphia, and for the most part dates are not attached to the folders.
