The collection comprises nineteen detailed letters concerning his portrait painting, art criticism and other professional activities, three manuscripts of articles on art, and a file of rare newspaper articles by and about Blanche. Of particular interest are a letter of 1886 to Theodor de Wyzewa commenting on the negative public response to Blanche's portrait of Robert de Montesquiou and on works by Monet, Cazin, Raffaelli, Renoir, Rodin and Besnard exhibited at the Petit gallery; a letter of 1898 to a female patron discussing at some length his views on techniques in portraiture; two long letters to Florence Meyer Blumenthal criticizing the aims of her committee to aid indigent artists and commenting on the current art market; three letters, 1920-1923, discussing his reading of Fromentin and others and his critical writing; a letter of 1924 addressing the controversy surrounding his portrait of Rodin for the Hotel Biron; three letters (1927-1931) to Robert St. Jean about subjects for articles for the Revue Hebdomadaire; and a letter of 1933 to a hostile critic concerning a misreading of Blanche's writings.
