Papers, 1885-1941, 1885-1897 and 1927-1941 (bulk dates).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/261233332

The collection consists of letters written to Charles Henry Hart about several silhouette artists and notes and articles about a number of different American artists. The articles, at least, were collected by someone other than Hart as they all postdate his death. The notes were either made by Theodore Bolton or were taken from works by him. The silhouette artists in whom Hart was interested were William H. Brown, Augustin Edouart, and William James Hubard. Hart corresponded with family members and friends in order to learn more information about the men. A letter from John Sartain concerned work he had done for Hubard. The collection includes some reproductions and photographs of silhouettes, but no originals. It is not known who put the collection together.
