Charles Korvin photographs
Scope and Contents
The collection comprises 244 black and white photos (approximately 5" x 7") and negatives (approximately 1.5" x 1.5"; sizes vary due to hand cutting) with descriptions on the back in English or Spanish. Most photos have the print and negative (some are print only) and were printed in Paris circa 1937-38. Captions listed are those written on the back of each print (except where indicated by square brackets). The bulk of the Korvin photograph collection may possibly be the still images taken during the preparation and filming of Heart of Spain. The photos document the military, medical, and social impact of the Spanish Civil War. Specific focus is placed on doctors (especially Dr. Bethune), hospitals, and medical procedures. However, the photographs provide a broad overview of the war including bombings, political demonstrations, entertainment, and military training.
