This sub-subseries contains photographs and negatives that document Schapiro's travels to Europe and the Near East from two trips taken in 1926 through 1927 and 1957. The 1926 trip was funded by the Carnegie Corporation to complete research on his doctoral dissertation relating to Romanesque sculpture. These photographs add a visual layer to the writings contained in his travel notebooks that are contained in Subseries: I.8. The images are chiefly composed of architecture and architectural details that Schapiro went overseas to study. While the positive prints are organized by country and city traveled, the negatives, with over 1,500 individual negatives, are unsorted due to the volume.
