Papers, 1922-1932.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/191259159

This collection of correspondence centers primarily on American painting, particularly portraiture, from the seventeenth through the early nineteenth centuries. Much of the material concerns confirmation of attribution of portraiture to leading American artists like Joseph Badger, Joseph Blackburn, John Singleton Copley, John Smibert, Jeremiah Dummer, and Gilbert Stuart. There is also a scrapbook outlining activities at the Copley Gallery in the 1920s and photostats concerning colonial artists from the Frick Library in New York. There is an incomplete index to references to early American artists, prepared by Clarence S. Brigham in the 1930s.
