BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT

Mrs. Carson was a resident of Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, who collected autographs.

SCOPE AND CONTENT

This collection includes autographs of American and a few European artists, painters, and architects. Among the more important are Victor Audubon, Albert Bierstadt, Frederic E. Church, Thomas Cole, John Singleton Copley, Robert Fielding, Horatio Greenough, Henry Inman, John F. Kensett, John Lewis Krimmel, John La Farge, John Notman, members of the Peale family, Joshua Shaw, Thomas Sully, and Benjamin West.

While most of the items in the collection are of trifling consequence, some are important for the study of the people they represent. For example, several manuscripts relate to a Benjamin West painting titled "Christ Healing the Sick in the Temple," and about one dozen letters written by Frederic Church detail his trip to South America in 1853. A couple of Church’s letters include sketches of South American scenes.

ORGANIZATION

The items are arranged in alphabetical order by last name of artist. The last folder includes some printed items related to a few artists for whom there are no autographs, plus items relating to several museums and other cultural institutions, particularly the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Philadelphia Museum. A complete index of the artists' names is available at this repository.
