Hello - boy am I happy to see this thread! I am an academic working on the final stages of a manuscript to be published by Bucknell Univ Press on the visit of Henry James to the US in 1904-05. During his stay, two photographs taken by Van der Weyde were published; one, on Feb 11, 1905 p 198 of Literary Digest (which eventually was absorbed by Time in 1938); and a second on 5 Feb 1905 page 365 in Reader magazine to accompany an article by H.M. Fielding. The publisher wants high quality photographic images, and all i have are smudgy photocopies! I can get these on microform, but scans from that source are also of too poor a quality to use in the book. If anyone can help me with this, in terms of who i can contact to purchase the images--even negatives would be fine-- i would be eternally grateful! Btw, the primary author of the book is Robin Hoople, now deceased but who was a prof in American studies and literature at the University of Manitoba, in Canada, where I work. Thanks very much!
