McAllister, John A. (John Allister), 1822-1896,. Albert Newsam Papers. 1861-1868 (bulk, 1833-1864).

Title: Albert Newsam Papers. 1861-1868 (bulk, 1833-1864).

The Albert Newsam Papers holds correspondence and documents sent to, written by, and about the artist. Some of the material relates to the Gallaudet Monument Association, which was organized to collect funds from the deaf community nationwide to raise a monument to Thomas H. Gallaudet (1787-1851) on the grounds of the American Asylum for the Education and Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb (now the American School for the Deaf) in Hartford, Connecticut. Newsam designed the monument, and was vice president for fundraising in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland. The collection also holds a circa 1835 folio album, titled "Principles of Perspective," which is thought to be in Newsam's hand and functioned as his workbook on the subject.
