General Notes

Note

In the late 1970's Willard Seiberling has Walter Long print images of Stan Hywet, both old and new, for distribution to his siblings at Christmas 1977, 1978 and 1979. From some of these old images that are new prints, it is apparent that Long printed many of historic images directly from Willard's own glass plate negatives taken in the 1910's and 1920's.
