Lambdin in Natchez, Miss., contain news of family, friends, and business, as well as descriptions of his homes, gardens, and art studios. In several letters, Lambdin alludes to his paintings, including a portrait of Thomas Bisland in 1853 and a series of portraits of governors of Pennsylvania. In addition to referring to various commissions he received, Lambdin discusses his appointment in 1859 by President Buchanan as one of three art commissioners in Washington, D. C., responsible for approving all art to be placed in the United States Capitol. The other two artists appointed were New York landscape painter John Kensett and Washington sculptor Henry K. Brown. Lambdin's letter dated January 17, 1853 [sic], is written on the back of a circular dated January 1, 1854, from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts inviting owners of art works to exhibit them at the Thirty-First Annual Exhibition in April of that year. Lambdin was Director of the Academy and chairman of the exhibition at the time. The collection also includes a photograph circa 1880s of James Reid Lambdin.

The papers of John Frederick Kensett consist mostly of correspondence, 1832-1872, that dipicts vividly his colorful career as an engraver and painter. They cover all phases of his career from his early years as a successful but discontented engraver, throught the years of study in Europe to fulfillment as an acclaimed member of the Hudson River School of Landscape Painters. Kensett corresponded with many well known artists, writers, scholars, and publishers, whose letters provide a valuable perspective on the cultural and intellectual climate in the United States during the mid-nineteenth century. The letters are arranged alphabetically by correspondent. These also include three sketchbooks that provide insight into the thought process behind Kensett's finished works; a visual passport that records Kensett's movements throughout Europe from 1840-1847; and papaers relating to the art exhibit at the Metropolitan Fair, 1864.
