Scrapbook containing manuscripts, photographs, correspondence, and printed ephemera relating chiefly to Benjamin Hazard Field. The scrapbook consists chiefly of manuscript and printed versions (clippings) of poems. There are manuscript drafts and copies of poems by Field, his daughter, Virginia Hazard Field, DeWitt Clinton Judah, and M. Cohen Stuart. There are printed versions of poems by Field, Clinton, and numerous other American and English writers of the mid to late nineteenth century, including William Cullen Bryant, John White Chadwick, Emily C. Judson, Augusta Larned, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Mary Toles Peet, Charles Swain, and Martin Farquhar Tupper. There are four cartes-de-visite images of Field and five autograph signed letters, including two from Field, to Reverend Henry Yates Satterlee and "Mlle Le Prince," and one to Field from DeWitt Clinton Judah. Additional printed ephemera includes a reproduction of the presidents of the New-York Historical Society, including Field, and an invitation from the Home for Incurables (later St. Barnabas Hospital for Chronic Diseases), Field's principal New York area charity.
