Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
This collection was compiled by Betty Musser (Utah State Senator between 1933 and 1936), daughter of Harry and Retta Pyper Shepherd, granddaughter of George D. Pyper, and wife of Burton Musser. Materials in the collection include photographs of the Pyper, Shepherd, and John D. Spencer families. In addition, the collection contains photographs associated with the Salt Lake Theater, managed by George D. Pyper between 1897 and 1929.
The two boxes comprising the collection contain 133 prints and two negatives. Most of the photographs are Albumen type, usually in the form of cabinet portraits of cartes-de-visite. Many well known Salt Lake City portrait studios are represented in the collection, including those of Savage, Sainsbury, and Johnson, and Thomas. A smaller number of images are of modern type photographs taken in studios and by family members between the 1920s and 1940s. One tintype print of a Pyper family member is also included.
Box one contains portraits of George D. Pyper (circa 1890-1940), photographs taken on trips to Hawaii and Europe by George D. Pyper in the 1930s, membership photographs of the Deseret Sunday School Union, portraits of George D. Pyper's son, George (Gordie) W. Pyper, photographs of the younger Pypers' LDS Mission in Germany, and portraits of Pyper family members of the first, second and third generation (Alexander C., George D., and George W.) Box two contains portraits of Arthur Shepherd (uncle of Betty Shepherd Musser), portraits of the John D. Spencer family, a variety of identified and unidentified portraits, publicity photographs associated with the Salt Lake Theater, and miscellaneous photographs.
