INTRODUCTION This guide has been created to interpret and provide quick access to the photographic collection of Douglas E. Brinton. About the project: The Douglas Brinton photographic collection was donated to the Society in January 8, 1948 by Brinton's wife, Mrs. Hettie Brinton, and son, Henry L. Brinton. The collection consisted of a box of 420 glass plate negatives which was accompanied by notes identifying some of the plates, as well as some miscellaneous original prints. The Society staff placed the negatives in kraft paper envelopes noting identifications when known. About 50% of the material was unidentified. These negatives were then dispersed into the general glass plate negative holdings by subject. In 1976 interest was taken in the glass plate negatives when 300 of the views were printed using modern photographic materials. These prints and negatives were not easily accessible to researchers since there was no inventory or index describing them. The Society was very grateful to receive a local history grant from the PHMC in order to bring together the Douglas Brinton Collection as a meaningful whole and to research and describe it. The original order of the material was impossible to recreate since neither Henry Brinton nor former CCHS staff were able to provide any information on its arrangement. Therefore, an arrangement was imposed on the material, by numbering the negatives in the order that they were removed from the storage containers. Reference copy prints were placed in albums in order by negative number. Additional reference prints were made for the remaining negatives. Access to the material is gained through the index and inventory listings in this guide. Accompanying Brinton's negatives is an original publication list that he issued in 1901. The Society did not receive all of the 1706 views listed in that publication, but by the same token, the CCHS collection includes many views not listed in the 1901 publication. CCHS holdings have been noted on the publication list by negative numbers in the margin adjacent to each view. Reference prints that have been identified as belonging to the 1901 publication listing, have received a large rectangular label with Douglas Brinton's original caption. Photographs with small labels bear descriptions supplied by the photo archivist. Also in the Society's collection are 142 of Douglas Brinton's original prints which were sold to the general public. These prints were received from many different donors. The original prints have been cataloged according to Brinton's series listings. The catalog records can be found in this guide as well as in the library's card catalog.

DOUGLAS E. BRINTON (1859-1946) Douglas Brinton & the Oxford Press Douglas E. Brinton was part of a family of journalists that was to span three generations and to record current events in the southern portion of Chester County, Pennsylvania. At the time of his birth in 1859, his father, Henry L. Brinton, was working as an assistant editor at the American Republican in West Chester. Henry Brinton traveled from his Westtown home throughout the county regularly as part of his job, and he recognized the need for a printing establishment in the southern end of Chester County. In 1861, the family moved to Oxford, Pennsylvania, and Henry Brinton opened a job printing plant that served the southern Chester County, eastern Maryland and northern Delaware region. By 1866 Henry Brinton founded the Oxford Press with an initial subscription of 250 individuals at a cost of $2 per year for the weekly newspaper. Described as "an independent paper devoted to news, literature and agriculture," The Oxford Press presented national and local news, legal notices, obituaries, marriages, proverbs, medical advice, poetry, humor, and a variety of features all in four pages. The newspaper had immediate popularity, with subscribers in communities surrounding Oxford such as Kennett Square, West Grove, Avondale, Hopewell, New London, Coleraine in Lancaster County, as well as Rising Sun and Port Deposit in Maryland. He purchased a cylinder printing press in 1868 and built his own Oxford Press building in 1869. In 1870, after Brinton went into partnership with George D. Hayes, the Oxford Press was published through the firm of Hayes & Brinton. Hayes was an entrepreneur who had entered into brief partnerships with Oxford photographers J.B. Gibson in 1867 and with Alexander McCormick in 1868. Douglas Brinton attended the Hofwyl Academy in Kennett Square which was operated by Rev. A.S. Vaughan, a Presbyterian minister of upstanding character. In 1876 he started an apprenticeship with his father, as a typesetter receiving his board, a new suit of clothes and a sum of money each year. In 1879 he began to try his hand at writing short articles, and by 1881 he was a regular contributor to the Press writing under the pen-name of "Stray-straw". To gather stories for the column, Brinton interviewed old-timers in the community, and related their recollections. In 1890 Douglas Brinton, along with his friends, W. Taylor Wright and Frank Cox went to the Rocky Mountains to prospect for gold. But wealth was not fated for the friends, and Brinton found employment as assistant editor for the Salt Lake Times. Later in 1891, Douglas returned home. George D. Hayes sold his interest in the Oxford Press and on January 1, 1892, Douglas and his brother William entered into partnership and the firm was renamed H.L. Brinton & Sons. Also that year Brinton married Hettie Breading Hickman, a teacher at the Oxford Academy and the couple's first child was born. The Brintons had eight children, and son Henry Longfellow joined in the family newspaper tradition later becoming editor of the Daily Local News in West Chester. Henry Brinton retired from his editorial position in 1908 and the firm again changed its name to H. L. Brinton's Sons. The founding Brinton died in 1918. It was not until 1924 that Douglas Brinton bought out his brother's share in the newspaper and became sole editor and proprietor. Two great celebrations marked important stages in the development of the Oxford Press. In 1916 the Press celebrated its golden anniversary by publishing a facsimile edition of the first issue on February 14, 1866 which also included a three page section of photographs of Oxford in 1866 as compared in 1916. Another important anniversary for the Press was Douglas Brinton's 80th birthday in 1940 celebrating his contribution to the community. Outside Brinton's professional life, he was active as a Director of the Schools, a member of the Chester County Historical Society, and a member of the

Oxford Presbyterian Church. After an illness that confined Brinton to the Marshall Square Sanatarium in West Chester, he died in 1946 at the age of 86. He was buried in the Oxford Cemetery. Douglas Brinton & photography Along with Douglas Brinton's interest in journalism was his love of local history. It was through this interest that his avocation as a photographer began. In his frequent travels in 1899 - 1901, Brinton photographed historic sites of small communities in the tri-state area amassing a collection of over 1700 views. Brinton's approach to photography was similar to his approach to a news story. He photographed a site after careful research and background information was gathered. This background story is essential for understanding the context in which the photos were made. Brinton's photographs are not without merit for rendering of detail and clarity; however, it is the thoroughness of his historical documentation and his ability to record in photographs the interest of his generation in the colonial period, their religious heritage, and the tradition of home and family, that makes the collection valuable. In the age of the fin-de-siecle, America was in the process of establishing its own distinct cultural identity and history. The United States Centennial Exhibition held in Philadelphia in 1876 featured many exhibits focusing on the heritage as well as the industrial power of America. This exhibition did much to establish a positive sense of identity for the United States. This stimulus, combined with the influx of immigrants from many nations overseas, led to the establishment of community historical societies and other organizations that would preserve and perpetuate local history. Brinton's photographs were part of the drive to establish this historical context for the Oxford area community. Brinton systematically photographed landmarks of significance from the colonial and revolutionary period in the tri-state area. He especially concentrated on communities outside large cities that had played a role in the revolutionary period. Examples of this are three series of views: "Battle of Brandywine, September 11, 1777", "Valley Forge Encampment, 1777-78", and " Movements of the British Army from Elk River Ferry to the Battle of Brandywine". In each of these series Brinton literally retraced the footsteps of Revolutionary and British forces and documented the roads, resting places, encampments, generals' headquarters and sites of military engagements. Each photograph is accompanied by a caption that sets up the historical context for the view. These efforts established a sense of history and community pride for the area in which Brinton lived and worked. Individual views or entire series were purchased by the public. Brinton had his own pre-printed grey mounts with the legend: "Brinton Photographic Collection of Revolutionary & other Historical Landmarks in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware by Douglas E. Brinton, Oxford, Penna." Brinton also documented areas of early settlement in the tri-state area. In "An Early Settler", he uses Roger Kirk as an example documenting the properties and enterprises of a colonial settler and his family. Roger Kirk, Sr. settled in East Nottingham Twp., Chester County in 1714. After the Mason-Dixon Line was drawn, Kirk's lands were found to be in Maryland. Brinton copied Kirk's original deed and photographed his original house in order to document this early pioneer. Brinton then traced the activities of Kirk's grandson who was a miller that served in the Continental army. He photographed Kirk's mill near Chrome and his commission papers for the Continental army. Of significance to the development of the tri-state area were the boundary surveys that drew the Mason-Dixon Line and the Circle of New Castle. These surveys established the tangent boundaries of Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. Brinton systematically photographed the markers and

landmarks used in those surveys. While these photographs are not notable for their pictorial interest, the scholar can recognize the importance of boundaries in the building of communities and community identity. Also of interest to Brinton was the growth of the Presbyterian Church in early America. Brinton himself was a life-long member of the Oxford Presbyterian Church. He thoroughly documented the growth of Presbyterian congregations in the series: "Cradle of American Presbyterianism", "Faggs Manor, Pennsylvania", "West Nottingham, Maryland", "New London, Pennsylvania", "Chestnut Level, Pennsylvania", "Rock Presbyterian Church, Maryland" as well as individual views of churches included within other series. Depicted in his photographs are the churches, cemeteries, and historic trees associated with individual congregations. His captions to these photographs reveal that he did extensive research on founders, early ministers, and building construction. Included in Brinton's lengthy catalog of subjects are more generalized photographs that depict early inns & taverns, birthplaces of local dignitaries, historic trees, graves of notable people and beloved landmarks. Additional photographs in the Chester County Historical Society collection record everyday scenes of family life. Examples of his personal photographs includes views of neighborhood characters, portraits of family members, and family events such as Henry and Anna Brinton ready for the first day of school in 1909. Besides offering the photographs for sale to the general public, Brinton also received orders from commercial and academic buyers. Universities and colleges purchased sets of views, twenty of his photographs were used for Pennypacker's History of Pennsylvania, and others were published in Sunday editions of New York, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh papers. Brinton frequently lectured on topics of historical interest to local organizations and used his photographs to illustrate those lectures. Douglas Brinton made a valuable contribution to his community by sharing his knowledge of its history through his work as a journalist and publisher of the Oxford Press, as a lecturer, and as a photographer. Nearly a century after the photographs were taken, Douglas Brinton's views remain an important resource for researchers.
