Downes, William Howe, 1854-1941. Letters received, 1874-1922.

Title: Letters received, 1874-1922.

These letters were received, principally, while Downes was art critic for the Boston Evening Transcript, a post he held for over 30 years. Most were written by Boston area artists (and especially, "Fenway studio" artists) in response to Downes' reviews of their exhibited work, and so provide a tantalizing sketch of cultural life in Boston at the turn of the century. A one volume scrapbook contains letters and newspaper clippings regarding the publication of Downes' "The life and works of Winslow Homer" (1911).

Century Company records

Title: Century Company records

The Century Company published the Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine, which was widely regarded as the best general periodical of its time, performing a role as cultural arbiter during the 1880s and 1890s. It was founded in New York City in 1881 and also published the children's magazine St. Nicholas, dictionaries, and books. The Century Company records date from 1870 to the 1930s and chiefly contain correspondence with contributors, readers, public figures, and literary agents. A number of manuscripts and proofs in the collection are extensively edited and taken with annotations on letters provide a detailed record of the outlook, standards, and functions of the company.
