Thomas A. Fox and John Singer Sargent Collection, 1882-1934.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/41434726

Correspondence, manuscripts, bound photo albums, newspaper clippings, inventories, photographs, glass plate negatives and reproductions of Sargent's drawings generated from Fox's efforts to catalogue, disperse and exhibit Sargent's work throughout the United States and Europe. Correspondence between Fox and museum directors, gallery owners and Sargent's sister Emily primarily relates to these efforts (c. 1920-1930). Incoming correspondence (c. 1903-1924) between John Singer Sargent and Fox also exists as a series. Approximately forty scrapbooks and bound volumes provide newspaper clippings about Sargent's work and death and 700 photographic representations of Sargent's watercolors, drawings, sketches, landscapes, portraits and mural projects. Over 600 glass plate negatives provide a catalogue of Sargent's sketches and sculptural work in the Boston area, particularly mural projects at the Museum of Fine Arts, the Boston Public Library and Widener Library at Harvard University with work taking place on the three projects from 1890 to 1925. Indices and bibliographies of Sargent's work exist on index cards in an attempt by Fox to catalogue all of Sargent's work.
