Benjamin West (1738-1820) was particularly noted for his paintings of historical events and portraits. Born in or near Philadelphia, PA, West studied with William Williams when he came to Philadelphia in the late 1740s. In either 1759 or 1760, he traveled to Italy to study art. His works were so well received abroad that he decided to remain in Europe, opening a studio in London as a portrait painter. West's 1770 work, "Death of Wolfe," gained the attention of the British royalty, and King George soon commissioned him to paint several more heroic death scenes. His great knowledge of the history of art and literature is apparent in his work, particularly in his French romantic style painting, "Death on a Pale Horse," 1802.

West was a charter member of the Royal Academy, founded in 1768. He later became its second president. West decided to keep his permanent residence in London, remaining there until his death in 1820. After the American Revolutionary War, many young American artists went to Europe to study, and quite a few well-known artists temporarily moved to London to study with West. Among them were Charles Willson Peale, Rembrandt Peale, Gilbert Stuart, John Trumbull, and Thomas Sully.

This collection primarily contains correspondence between Eunice Chambers and various scholars, museum directors, libraries, and art collectors between 1930-1967. Most letters pertain to the numerous early American portraits that Chambers collected and resold. She often approached private owners of particular paintings and wrote to them, asking if they would be willing to sell their items. Chambers also actively solicited purchasers for her paintings. Often, she would go to great lengths to thoroughly research the provenance of the works and the history of the subjects of these paintings. Through the help of various libraries and scholars, she was able to attribute several unidentified paintings.

White, John Blake, 1781-1859. John Blake White papers, 1800-1844.

Title: John Blake White papers, 1800-1844.

Papers consist of sketchbooks, diaries, plays and other writings, genealogical material, and other items. Three diaries cover the years 1800 to 1818. The first diary ("My Journal," 1800-1802) begins with White's departure from Charleston (S.C.) on board the ship Amity and its capture by French privateers, then goes on to describe his stay in Cork (Ireland); his introduction to and studies with Benjamin West; his friends, including Washington Allston and other students from South Carolina; and a visit to Oxford University and Blenheim Castle. The second diary (1802-1803) discusses various amusements of London including tea gardens and a fair; the King's Bench Prison; the architecture of St. Paul's Cathedral; London restaurants and social life; the British Museum; a visit to Bath; and meeting Thomas Laurence and Sir William Beechey. Third diary (1803-1818) covers White's last months in England and his return to South Carolina; the death of his mother (1803); his stay in Boston (Mass.) during 1804; law studies; first marriage and children; his plays; and the death of his first wife. Plays (1805-1830) include two versions of "Foscari, or the Venetian Exile," a tragedy performed in Charleston in 1806; a manuscript of "Modern Honor" (1811), a tragedy concerning duelling; and a manuscript of "Mordaunt, or the Victim of Intemperance" (1829). In addition, there is a letter (16 August 1830) from White to "Dana" discussing his play "Mordaunt." Two sketchbooks (1802) contain pencil drawings of children, landscapes, and other subjects. Writings (1832-1844) include a manuscript of "An Essay on the Moral Excellence of Painting" (read before the Literary and Philosophical Society of Charleston in 1832); essays on capital punishment and hydropathy (hydrotherapy); and an address (1836) about temperance. Genealogical material consists of a volume (n.d.) containing notes on the White, Bellinger, Blake, O'Driscoll, and other related families. Other items include a fragment (n.d.) of a notebook containing names and addresses as well as a list of books; and a promissory note (1806).

Title: Journals and notebooks, 1790-1833 [microform].

The records consist of 62 pocket journals and notebooks, the bulk of which date from Gilpin's European tour of 1795-1801. Gilpin was a careful observer who recorded both conventional travel narratives and site descriptions and collected data on political and social conditions, wages, and the standard of living. His perspective was that of a Quaker with reforming impulses, exemplified by his interest in prisons and education. His extensive travels gave him a more cosmopolitan outlook than most Philadelphia Quakers, and he absorbed many tastes and attitudes of the English gentry with whom he lived.

Memoirs of the professional life of Thomas Sully dedicated to his brother artists, Philadelphia, November 1851.

Resource

Sully, Thomas, 1783-1872. Memoirs of the professional life of Thomas Sully dedicated to his brother artists, Philadelphia, November 1851.

Title: Memoirs of the professional life of Thomas Sully dedicated to his brother artists, Philadelphia, November 1851.

This volume of Sully's memoirs covers two areas of his professional life: the techniques of his artistry and his recollections of some of the painters that he knew. In the preface to this manuscript, Sully writes that through his work as an artist, he collected hints and gained experiences that he wanted to pass on to other painters. Among the painting techniques that Sully wrote about were the most important facial features that a portrait needed to highlight, how to paint backgrounds, the usefulness of sketching and modelling in clay for the painter, and how to most effectively arrange a palette. Sully reconstructs a palette that he considered "the best I have tried" and another that he customarily used for a third portrait sitting. Reflecting his admiration for Gilbert Stuart, Sully records two of his palettes, one of which was designed specifically for painting flesh. Sully also addresses different ways in which varnishes were used and provides formulae for paints and varnishes. He even includes a color chart to show how primary colors are mixed to produce other colors. Sully used small drawings to amplify his thoughts. One illustration depicts John Trumbull's small exhibition room on Barclay St., New York City, while another relates to the use of light in portrait painting. Sully comments on painters of his and other generations and critiques their work. Artists including Gilbert Stuart, Thomas Gainsborough, Henr y Fuseli, Charles Willson Peale, Benjamin West, Joshua Reynolds, Washington Allston, Thomas Lawrence, C.R. Leslie, and J.M.W. Turner all come under Sully's scrutiny. Of West, he notes: "I need not say how much I reaped from the services of this good man; he treated me as if I had been his son." Sully also remarks on a study group in which he took part while in London and his activities with other artists everywhere. In 1873, a short edited version of this text, Hints to Young Painters and the Process of Portrait Painting, was printed under Sully's name as a posthumous publication. F. T. S. Darley, Sully's grandson, edited the volume for publication and it contains Darley's penciled-in editorial modifications.

Series I consists mostly of letters received by Metcalfe as executor of the Sir Joshua Reynolds estate. Two letters are addressed to co-executor Edmund Burke. Other notable correspondents include Charles James Fox, Edmond Malone, Reynolds's niece Mary Palmer, and Benjamin West. Most of the letters relate to funeral arrangements and estate finances. Series II includes detailed notes by Metcalfe on the arrangements for Reynolds's funeral, as well as financial accounts with several estate creditors and beneficiaries. A list of Reynolds paintings sold at auction is of particular interest. Preceding one of the estate account books is a subscription list, probably begun by Reynolds in 1785, to raise a monument to Samuel Johnson at St. Paul's Cathedral. Series III, the Metcalfe family papers, are of primarily genealogical interest.

Title: ALS : London, England, to Thomas Mifflin, Philadelphia, Pa., 1796 Feb. 24.

Fulton recommends to Gov. Mifflin his system of narrow canals and inclined planes for the improvement of Pennsylvania, making the outlandish claim that they will enable goods to be shipped from Pittsburgh to Philadelpia for 21 shillings a ton. Fulton asks for a monopoly grant from Congress and a right to royalty payments as the condition for further describing his system. These ideas were published in England as A treatise on canals and were completely impractical, as Fulton had no engineering experience at this point. The letter is accompanied by a letter of introduction from Benjamin West and a 20th century typed paper by Reading Company secretary Jay V. Hare containing a transcription of the letters, and an essay describing the circumstances behind their creation and how they came into the custody of the Reading Company.

Peale-Sellers Family Collection, 1686-1963

Resource

Peale-Sellers family collection, 1686-1963

Title: Peale-Sellers Family Collection, 1686-1963

The collection, divided into seven series, represents the careers and interests of the members of the Peale-Sellers family from the 1670s to 1960s. More than half is correspondence among various members of the families. The Peale family is best known as a family of artists; however, family interests and activities were much more wide-ranging. The best known Peale is Charles Willson Peale (1741-1827, APS 1786), who produced more than one thousand paintings, including hundreds of portraits of leading Americans during the colonial and early national periods. Peale was married three times, to Rachel Brewster (1744-1790), Elizabeth de Peyster (1765-1804), and Hannah More (1755-1821). He had eighteen children, eleven of whom reached adulthood. Three of Charles Willson Peale’s sons became artists: Raphaelle Peale (1774-1825), Rembrandt Peale (1778-1860), and Rubens Peale (1784-1865). A fourth son, Titian Ramsay Peale (1799-1885, APS 1833), was a naturalist (who made drawings on the exploring expeditions he accompanied) and pioneer in photography, and another son, Benjamin Franklin Peale (1795-1870), became a naturalist and paleontologist. Peale’s daughter Sophonisba Angusciola was married to Coleman Sellers (1781-1834), an inventor and manufacturer of machinery, including locomotives. Two of their sons, George Escol Sellers (1808-1899) and Coleman Sellers (1827-1907, APS 1872), were inventors and engineers. The latter served as director of the construction of the hydro-electric power development at Niagara Falls. He was married to Cornelia Wells Sellers (1831-1909). One of their grandsons was Charles Coleman Sellers (1903-1980, APS 1979), a librarian and historian and the author of several studies of the Peale family, including a Charles Willson Peale biography.

Album of watercolors and drawings., 1777-1935, 1790-1835

Title: Album of watercolors and drawings. 1777-1935 1790-1835

The collection primarily consists of an album filled with drawings, prints, ephemera, and manuscript poems, letters, dedicatory inscriptions, and notes collected or created by John Charles Denham. The album contains 107 small drawings and sketches in graphite, ink, and watercolor by prominent British artists from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries such as Richard Parkes Bonington, John Flaxman, Sir Thomas Lawrence, Paul Sandby, J. M. W. Turner, and Benjamin West, as well as Denham's cohort in the Society of Young Painters: François Louis Thomas Francia, Thomas Girtin, Sir Robert Ker Porter, and Augustus Wall Callcott. Many of the drawings are signed but most are undated, and appear to have been added to the book between the early 1830s and the mid-1850s. Several bear small paper tags with references to unidentified "Old 'Water Colour' Society" volumes and folios. Among the drawings are portrait sketches of James Boswell, Maria Cosway, William Cowper, John Charles Denham, and Sarah Siddons, as well as the title character of Henry Mackenzie's novel Julia de Roubigné. The artist most prominently represented in the album is Sir Thomas Lawrence, with fifteen drawings, one etching, two letters, and a signature clipped from an unidentified document; the most prominent family represented is the painter/author Sir Robert Ker Porter and his sisters, the novelists Jane and Anna Maria Porter. Also present are watercolor landscapes by the wife and daughter of portrait painter Thomas Phillips and three members of the Batty family, and several drawings by Denham's young stepson Henry Thomas Hamilton (d.1813). Two drawings in the album have historically been attributed to Thomas Gainsborough and one to John Hamilton Mortimer.

Franklin-Bache Papers 1707-1799

Franklin-Bache Papers, 1707-1799

Title: Franklin-Bache Papers 1707-1799

Containing over 4 linear feet of letters and documents, the Franklin-Bache Papers comprises the second largest collection of letters and documents relating to Benjamin Franklin in the APS Library. Although the scope of the collection is broad, including materials from the time of Franklin's arrival in Philadelphia to his death, the heart of the collection documents the period of Franklin's ministry in France (1776-1785) and his diplomatic efforts to win financial and military support for the revolutionary cause, as well as less intensive coverage of his ministry in England before the Revolution. Franklin's correspondence with American and French officials, financiers (personal and otherwise), and savants provides tantalizing details on the social context of Franklin's ministry in France, his intellectual life, and his growing celebrity. Much of the correspondence documents the efforts to convince French officials early in the war to support the American cause, but there is valuable material relating to the peace negotiations as well. The collection is equally rich in personal correspondence, including a rich set of letters from Mary Stevenson Hewson, Georgiana Shipley, Catherine Ray Greene, Jane Mecom, Deborah Franklin, and a number of Franklin's other relatives. The collection is arranged chronologically.

Colonel Richard Gimbel Collection of Thomas Paine Papers, 1692 - Circa 1921

Title: Colonel Richard Gimbel Collection of Thomas Paine Papers 1692 - Circa 1921

An important 18th century radical republican theorist and political writer, Thomas Paine was a leading figure in the American Revolution. Despite his humble beginnings and lack of formal education, his reasoned and persuasive writings not only influenced nascent American republican ideology, but profoundly affected the perception of government in England and France as well. His three most influential works are (1776), (1791-1792), and (1794, 1795, 1807). The Richard Gimbel Collection is a heterogeneous mix of items connected only by the fact that they were all collected by Gimbel (1898-1970) and that most were written by, to, or about the revolutionary Paine. Of primary importance are the approximately sixty-five letters or manuscripts in Paine's own hand, including Paine's 1776 manuscript notes for , his letter of January 10, 1781, in which he takes leave of his former commanding officer, Nathanael Greene, and his January 6, 1789 letter to Kitty Nicholson Few, in which he writes of his view of matrimony and other personal matters. The collection includes a series of correspondence between Thomas Paine and Samuel Adams, which were originally marked "forgeries," these appear instead simply to be the letters of two men bearing famous names.
