This collection consists primarily of correspondence concerning the history and authentication of paintings by Gilbert Stuart, a prominent early American portraitist. Begun as an independent project by Lawrence Park, the project was completed by William Sawitzky under the auspices of Helen Clay Frick and the Frick Art Reference Library after the death of Mr. Park in September 1924, and resulted in the publication "Gilbert Stuart: an Illustrated Descriptive List of his Works." The collection contains Lawrence Park and William Sawitzky correspondence with the owners of paintings, scholars and descendents of portrait subjects, and note cards arranged by portrait subject detailing information about Stuart's paintings. Items such as notes, correspondence, drawings, and family trees were attached to many of the note cards.
