Series 1: Scrapbook photograph albums (1960-1990)
52 scrapbooks containing photographs. These photographs document the road trips the Hennings undertook primarily to gather images of rural buildings and scenes for inspiration of Robert Henning's artwork. Many of these images have been used as work tools in the artist's studio and are spattered with paint and other markings. The images especially document rural hotels and run-down and decrepit buildings as well as landscapes and life on the land. Many are arranged in the style of a photomosaic so to form a panoramic view. Many images are not clearly identified. In some instances photographs have been torn out of these scrapbooks and either collated into ring binders (see Series 3) or left loose. These loose photos have now been collated into grey albums (see Series 2). In the case of some albums, only the cover or one or two photographs remain. These have been included in the listing to maintain chronology.
