Miscellaneous large photos, 1956-1963

Series II contains Thomas Gately's photographs. The majority of photographs are "win shots" taken at the presentation of the prize at a dog show. In addition, there are many professional portraits of dogs, and a few casual pictures. The majority of photographs, both "win shots" and portraits, were taken by photographer William Brown. The dog photographs are a potentially valuable resource for researchers tracing changes to the breeds over time, as well as for those looking for images of particular judges, kennel clubs, and dog shows. The group most fully represented is the Terrier Group. The breeds most fully represented are Airedales, Wirehaired Fox Terriers, Miniature Schnauzers, and Greyhounds. With the exception of photographs of Pugs, there are very few photographs from the Non-Sporting, Working, and Toy groups, with some folders having only one or two images. The majority of photographs are from the 1950's and 1960's, and most of them are black and white 8x10s, although there are a good number of smaller photographs as well, as well as Stud Dog Cards with photographs on them.

The personal photographs of the Gatelys, their friends, and their home, provide biographical illustration.
