The Henrietta Cozens Papers contain correspondence, art, photographs, and other materials that document the lives of three artists, Elizabeth Shippen Green Elliott, Violet Oakley, and Jessie Willcox Smith, as well as their friend, Henrietta Cozens. The bulk of the correspondence is from Elliott to Cozens, but there are also letters between all four friends, and from other people, including relatives of Cozens. The printed art includes Christmas cards by Elliott, her husband Huger Elliott, Oakley, and Smith; bookplates by Elliott and Huger Elliott; and calendars by Smith, and by Elliott and Smith together. The original art includes drawings by Elliott, Huger Elliott, and Oakley. There are photographs of Cozens, Elliott, and Smith, and of Cogshill, the house where Smith and Cozens lived. In addition, there are financial materials belonging to Cozens and Smith; blueprints, deeds, and surveys regarding Cogshill; a diary that Smith kept during her trip to England in 1907; and an article that she wrote about painting children.
