Object description

Maynard Owen Williams, född 12 september 1888, död juni 1963, blev National Geographics första utrikeskorrespondent 1919. Under sin karriär utforskade han Asien och bevittnade den ryska revolutionen. Han dog i Antalya, Turkiet, och begravdes på Feriköy protestantiska kyrkogården i Istanbul.

1923 bevittnade han den offentliga invigningen av kung Tuts grav i kungariket Egypten, som då var ett brittiskt protektorat.

1931 deltog han i Georges-Marie Haardts Croisière Jaune (den gula expeditionen) för Citroën-företaget och reste till Afghanistan och Brittiska Indien.

Med hans egna ord en "kamera-coolie och en roughneck", var Williams pionjär inom området resefotografering. Maynard Owen Williams-priset för kreativ facklitteratur vid Kalamazoo College är uppkallat till hans minne.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
