| | Abstract: | Maison Francaise de Cleveland was founded in 1918 by Emile B. De Sauze in Cleveland, Ohio. This organization sought to promote cultural relations between Cleveland and France by encouraging the study of French culture, language, art and literature, by publishing information regarding these studies, and by assisting professors, teachers and students in their activities. The collection consists of individual and group portraits and views of members, guests and activities of the Maison Francaise de Cleveland (Ohio). Included in the collection is a portrait of its founder, Emile B. Sauze, and views of the presentation of Bartholdi's clay working model of the Statue of Liberty to the city of Canton, Ohio, in 1970. Also included are copies of newspaper clippings related to the photographs. | |
