Description: Reverse reads "Bridge over Driveway in Eden Park, Cincinnati, Ohio" Eden Park Located between Gilbert Avenue and Columbia Parkway (U.S.) and comprised of about 185 acres in the Mount Adams community of Cincinnati, Ohio, Eden Park was assembled by a series of purchases beginning in 1859. The name came, naturally, from the Garden of Eden and was given by Nicholas Longworth who owned a large tract which constitutes the main portion of the park. Eden Park is the home of the Cincinnati Art Museum, Cincinnati Art Academy, the Navigation Monument, the Capitoline Wolf Statue, and the Irwin M. Krohn (Eden Park) Conservatory. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This photograph is a draft of a map for New Philadelphia (1938), which was created for potential use in The Ohio Guide, and is covered with pencil marks, arrows and notes. A the top right corner is a North arrow, beneath which says "Ohio Guide, Federal Writers' Project 1938". The map is approximately centered on the Tuscarawas County Courthouse on the Corner of High Avenue and Broadway Street. It depicts the Tuscarawas River and Tuscora Park, as well as the C & P Railroad tracks, the abandoned Ohio Canal, and the East Avenue and Fair Street Cemeteries. From 1935 to 1942, the Works Progress Administration (WPA), through its Federal Writers' Project created The American Guide Series, which included forty-eight state guides, as well as supplemental guides for large cities, etc. The state guides are divided into three sections. In the first section are general essays about the state on things such as agriculture, culture, history, industry, religion, etc. The second section contains an overview of the various cities and towns around the state, as well as enumerating various points of interest. The last section is dedicated to various tours around the state. The tourist is taken from city to city, with turn by turn directions, and descriptions of what can be seen along the way. While much of the country has grown and changed since the guides were written, it is surprising how much remains, and sometimes more surprising what has been lost. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This photograph shows a one-room schoolhouse class, posed with a chalkboard reading "Long Run School. November 4, 07. Cordelia Westbrook." It was taken by traveling photographer Albert J. Ewing, ca. 1896-1912. Like most of Ewing's work, it was likely taken in southeastern Ohio or central West Virginia. Born in 1870 in Washington County, Ohio, near Marietta, Ewing most likely began his photography career in the 1890s. The 1910 US Census and a 1912-1913 directory list him as a photographer. A negative signed "Ewing Brothers" and a picture with his younger brother, Frank, indicate that Frank may have joined the business. After 1916, directories list Albert as a salesman. He died in 1934. The Ewing Collection consists of 5,055 glass plate negatives, each individually housed and numbered. Additionally, the collection includes approximately 450 modern contact prints made from the glass plate negatives. Subjects include infants and young children, elderly people, families, school and religious groups, animals and rural scenes. In 1982, the Ohio Historical Society received the collection, still housed in the original dry plate negative boxes purchased by Albert J. Ewing. A selection of the original glass plate negatives were exhibited for the first time in 2013 at the Ohio Historical Center. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Reverse reads: "Opening Game Cin. Ball Park. Apr. 15-1941. Showing Red players on field. Paul Derringer pitching." This photograph depicts an overview shot of Crosley Field during the opening game between the Cincinnati Reds and the St. Louis Cardinals on April 15, 1941. Paul Derringer is on the mound. It appears that St. Louis just got a hit and the Reds are reacting to the play. The Reds lost to St. Louis 3-7. Derringer played for the Reds from 1931 to 1945 and held the team record for career strikeouts when he retired. In 1941, the Reds finished third in the National League with a record of 88-66.

Description: This blue swallowtail pennant show the Brigade Colors of the 166th Infantry Brigade, 83rd Infantry Division of World War I. The cotton white numbers, 166 and 83 are machine appliqued onto the wool pennant. It is 125 cm high. Ohio battle flags were on display at the Ohio Statehouse until the 1960s, when the state formed a committee to oversee the efforts to restore the fragile flags. Some of the battle flags were on display on the Plaza Level of the Ohio Historical Society from 1970 until 1989. For conservation reasons, the flags have been in storage since 1989. In the 1960s, the collection was photographed and commercial artist Robert Needham painted illustrations of many Civil War flags. Photographs of the flags and the paintings are now part of the society's archival collections. View on Ohio Memory.
