The Lawrence T. Jones III Texas Photography Collection represents over 30 years of collecting. The images are an overview of Texas photographers, photography and history dating from ca. 1846 to 1945.

Processing Information
Initially the collection was arranged by process and size, and much of the original order has been maintained. However, some photographs of similar subjects were moved together even if in different sizes for ease in access and a few new categories such as Photographica were added. Some photographs were rehoused. The original collection inventory was used as the basis for the finding aid.

Detailed Description of the Collection
Series 1:
Cased Images
9 boxes
This series is made up of the various formats of cased images: daguerreotypes, ambrotypes and tintypes, circa 1846-1885. Most are portraits but also included are some rare outdoor images like four tintypes of a Confederate foundry.
1Daguerreotypes, Texas Military Related (18) [Vault]
1Buckner, James "Buck" Barry in casual pose, by Edward C. Drane, Corsicana, Texas, June 1853. Inscribed on back, name, date, location, and photographer. Earliest known photographic image of a "genuine" Texas Ranger, as opposed to later Ranger activities as an adjunct to U.S. Army operations. Basic Texas Books (11) remarks of Barry's autobiography: "Best memoir of a Texan Ranger during the mid-19th century, covering his early life in North Carolina as hunter and schoolteacher, trip at the age of 23 through Texas in the last year of the Republic, service in the Mexican War under Jack Hays, and life as a pioneer on what was then the farthest frontier of Texas." Example of iconic Texas-Western image. Sixth plate daguerreotype in case with rosette motif, very good condition.
1Hardeman, Brigadier General William Polk, (1816-1898) in 1st Lieutenant uniform, circa 1846-47. Hardeman was a soldier in the Texas Revolution, in the Mexican War, a Texas Ranger and Confederate general. The case and brass mat help date the image to the 1846-1848, Mexican-American War era. Sixth plate daguerreotype in case with mixed floral bouquet motif, good condition.
1Krugler, Private John, A., Company L, 1st Artillery, U.S. Army, circa 1856. A native of Berne, Switzerland, his contemporary obituary, death from yellow fever, Fort Brown, Texas, is pinned to interior case cover. Sixth plate daguerreotype in case with octagon motif, excellent condition.
1Maxey, Brigadier General Samuel Bell, (1825-1895), as 2nd Lieutenant, 7th U.S. Infantry, circa 1847, by James Maguire, New Orleans. Maguire also worked in Corpus Christi. Photographer is identified in mat, upper top right. Maxey served in the Mexican War, was a major Confederate figure, and later served in the US Senate. The image is of Maxey right after West Point where he roomed with Stonewall Jackson. Sixth plate daguerreotype in case with lyre motif, good condition.
1Daguerreotypes, Texas Non-military

Also, accompanying note by Dyer indicating daguerreotype taken above Russell’s Store, Bonham, and Dyer’s occupation at the time was, "Studying medicine under Dr. T.C. Everts."

Sixth plate daguerreotype in half case with scroll and leaf motif, good condition, some spotting and tarnish at edges.
1López de Santa-Anna, Antonio (attributed), (1794-1876), circa 1855, provenance from Stanley Burns collection.

3Oliphant Family Cased Images
Oliphant Family Cased Images. The cased images, daguerreotypes (13), ambrotypes (2) and tintypes (5), circa 1850-1870 are all from Walter Prescott Webb, Oliphant’s son-in-law, only a few are identified, but some may relate to Bryan family (needs research), all were in the Oliphant family collection, many have the Oliphant imprint inside the case. Webb married Oliphant's daughter and lived with the Oliphant’s in his old age. Collection includes William J. Oliphant’s tintype portrait while in the 6th Texas Infantry Regiment, CSA. He was captured later by Yankees who took his gold buttons. Gold buttons on his uniform were made from Mexican gold coins.
Oliphant's parents were jewelers on 6th Street, Austin. The quarter plate tintype is in fair condition, somewhat dark and a few dents. Published in Jones CC, and elsewhere.*
4Oliphant Family Cartes de Visite
The group has about 22 cdv images of Oliphant at various phases of his life and career and eight tintypes of him, some before the Civil War, and three cabinet cards of Oliphant as an older man, an unusual number of photographs of a single photographer in one collection. Some of the cdvs show Oliphant with family members and sometimes holding stereoscopes. There are also cdvs of the Stuart and Townsend families related to Oliphant or his wife and a group of cdvs of unidentified people, many with tax stamps and from New Orleans. Also includes an image of Oliphant's father reading an Austin newspaper. Many of these cdvs have rare Texas imprints, such as a studio on Pecan Street. Some have personal inscriptions relating to the sitters.
5Oliphant/Gardner/Pywell Cartes de Visite [Vault]
Oliphant studied photography in Alexander Gardner’s Washington, DC studio circa 1867-1869, and there are a number of cdv images in the Oliphant Collection that were made in Gardner’s studio. It appears that Oliphant and photographer, William R. Pywell were acquainted; the collection includes several portraits made in Gardner’s studio of Pywell, who worked with Gardner, and Pywell’s sister, Laura Pywell who later became Timothy O’Sullivan’s wife and Eddie Pywell. There are also cdvs from the Pywell & Sterzing studio in Austin and the W.R. Pywell Photographic Studio in Homer, Louisiana. Also included is an 1869 portrait of photographer George Robertson by David Knox with his notes verso on the photograph.
Gardner’s portrait of Timothy O'Sullivan in this collection is one of few autographed images of him.
