 The  Joseph McDowell photographs of the University of Kentucky  consist of sixteen prints related to UK that were originally in an album. It includes university buildings and two informal images of instructors and students. The building prints were commercially made, but the descriptions in quotation marks were taken directly from the album that the photographs were contained.
