Samuel Lord Hyde Photographs

Samuel Hyde was a photographer and a historian who lived in Charleston and Summerville, South Carolina. He was the "chief cemetery investigator" for the South Carolina Public Service Authority during the creation of Lake Moultrie. The photographs in the Hyde collection are of the South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition (1901-1902), or were taken in the Lake Moultrie vicinity during the construction of the lake. The photographs of the Exposition include prints depicting buildings designed by Bradford Gilbert, a New York architect, and sculptures created by Louis C. Gudebrod, Charles Lopez, Carl Teft, and Elsie Ward. The photographs from the Lake Moultrie area were taken in 1939.
