Collection Overview
Biographical and Historical Note
Adolphus Wesley Carpenter (1909-1997) was an American amateur photographer in Durham,
North Carolina. Carpenter graduated from Duke University's business school in 1931.
He and his family often took trips to various places across North Carolina and the
southeast. Many of the photographs in the collection document the people and activities
on these trips.
Carpenter was a career executive with Ligget & Myers Tobacco Company in Durham, NC.
He devoted much of his spare time to nurturing his love for photography, including
the processing and printing of photographs in a darkroom located in the basement of
his home in Durham, North Carolina. Largely inspired by his older brother, Jesse T.
Carpenter, the two brothers learned from each other and shared many trips devoted
to photography. Jesse was responsible for encouraging Carpenter to enter his photographs
into photography contests sponsored by local newspapers, of which he won several awards.
Collection Overview
This collection contains five hundred and fifty three (553), gelatin silver photographs.
The photographs in the collection range in size from 2.5"x3.5" to 10.5"x13". The bulk
of the collection consists of double sided photographs measuring 5.25"x6.75". These
double-sided photographs consist of two traditional gelatin silver prints that have
been glued together. Most of the double-sided photographs have three holes punched
for installation in a binder. It is believed the reasoning for gluing two photographs
together was to create a thicker document along with a more book-like feel. The photographs,
taken and printed by Mr. Carpenter, depict families, events, objects, and scenes one
would typically see in 1940's American life. Places include Nags Head, North Carolina;
Durham, North Carolina; Pocahontas, West Virginia and various unidentified locations
across North Carolina and the southeast. Events and activities seen in the photographs
include the Chesterfield Christmas Parade, various fishing trips, portraits of family,
friends and the surrounding community; and artistic landscapes. Also included in the
collection is a selection of photographs depicting African American life. These include
portraits of community members, especially children, and the various activities and
work the residents engaged in on a daily basis.
