Scope and Content Note

The R. F. Woodhull Memorabilia is composed of a stitched, cyanotype fabric collage. Each panel bears one or more photogram images, which were created by exposing the image and chemically treated fabric to light. In the center of the piece is the University seal. Other images include those of presumably Woodhull and Thorpe, building interiors, household pets, Syracuse scenery, and a panel dedicated to Ticonderoga.
