Scope and Contents

From the Sub-Series:

Of special note is the original travel journal maintained by Blanche Saunders on the famous 1937 “trailer trek” across the country, in which some photos are affixed. Further photographs depicts Walker and Saunders at various stages in their lives and careers; obedience demos and classes, from the early 1935 Bedford Hills training to the famous Yankee Stadium and Rockefeller Plaza performances; and significant poodles from Carillon Kennel. Many of the famous and iconic images taken by Louise Branch and published in Saunders’ books are present, as are rare candids. Articles and manuscripts, chiefly written and researched by their acquaintance Catherine C. Reilly, and a collection of pedigrees owned by Walker also appear.
