Edwards, Parke, 1892-1975. Collection, 1906-1965.

Title: Collection, 1906-1965.

Consists primarily of works on paper in pencil, ink, wash, watercolor, and colored pencil. Because Edwards was mainly a metalsmith, most of the items are arts and crafts designs for metal objects and architectural elements including doors, windows, grills, furniture hardware, switch plates, latches and locks, and lighting devices. A few are associated with his work at the Bryn Athyn Cathedral. Also included are miscellaneous sketches and drawings, some of them inspired by medieval sources. Some works are figure studies and free hand perspective drawings of geometric shapes probably done when Edwards was a student. Others were apparently sketched while on field trips or vacations in Europe. A series of leaf rubbings, perhaps collected as design inspirations, are included. Some metal artifacts presumably designed by Edwards are part of the collection. There are also clippings collected by Edwards and copies of correspondence addressed to him, many from Howard Fremont Stratton.

These parts have performance annotations. Also present are the holograph score and parts for Betti's arrangement of Geminiani's Concerto in sol minore, op. 3, no. 2, and two of his cadenzas for Viotti's 22nd concerto.There are also holograph scores for violin and piano, cello and piano, and string quartet by various composers.
