http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/84666581

Consists of letters, sketches, research notes, and miscellaneous documents both by and about American artists. The items serve to trace the development of American painting. Most of the letters were written by artists and discuss either their work or the work of others. Identified sketches were drawn by Thomas Nast, Anna Lea Merritt, and Edward Simmons. There is also an engraving of John Sartain by M.A. Root. Among the research notes are typescripts, handwritten notes, and correspondence regarding William S. Mount; and a typescript of an article about Charles Sawyer entitled "Naturalism in America." Miscellaneous items include a receipt to John Trumbull, an inventory of the estate of Philadelphia painter Samuel Jonson (or Johnson, died 1755), and notes in Dutch regarding Sara Bayard.
