Abstract:

The collection consists primarily of photographs taken by Francis Blake, ca. 1875-1898. These images are mainly portraits of the Blake family, various relatives, and friends; Francis Blake's family estate, Keewaydin, in Weston, Mass.; the Blakes' travels to the Glen House Hotel in Glen, N.H. and the Payson family farm in Peoria County, Ill.; and Blake's experimentations with instantaneous and high-speed photography.

Table of Contents

Francis Blake (1850-1913) was born in Needham, Mass., the son of Caroline Burling (Trumbull) and Francis Blake, Sr. Known widely as the inventor of the Blake Transmitter for telephone communications, Blake was a respected physicist who also worked on the United States Coast Survey from his teenage years through early adulthood (1866-1878), was responsible for the design of his elaborate family estate, Keewaydin, in Weston, Mass., and was a serious amateur photographer. He married Elizabeth Livermore Hubbard (1849-1941) in 1874, and together they had two children: Agnes (Blake) Fitzgerald (b. 1876) and Benjamin Sewall Blake (b. 1877).

Francis Blake's interest in photography began in 1884, and that year, he built an extensive photographic laboratory on the grounds of Keewaydin. A member of the progressive Society of Amateur Photographers of New York and the Boston Camera Club, Blake's photographic interests included portraiture of family and friends, as well as landscape views of Keewaydin and other locations. However, he was most highly regarded for his work with high-speed photography. In the mid-1880s, Blake designed a distinctive focal-plane shutter that allowed him to take photographs with exposure times of 1/1000 to 1/2000 of a second. The resulting stop-action images of trains, birds, horses, bicyclists, and athletes were exhibited in Boston, Philadelphia, and London from 1891 to 1893, to critical acclaim, and his photos of tennis players in motion were included in the 1893 textbook Practical Lawn Tennis, by former tennis champion James Dwight. Blake also published an article on his research in high-speed photography, "Photographic Shutters," which was printed in two respected photography journals, American Amateur Photographer and Anthony's Photographic Bulletin, in 1891.
