| title | Washington Arch collection, 1872-1925 (bulk 1889-1895). | repository | New York University |
| description | Collection consists of correspondence, letterpress books, programs, invitations, account books, photographs, prints, plans, clippings, subscription lists, invoices, receipts, statements, contracts, agreements, minutes, reports, newspapers, estate inventories, published items, and a manuscript draft relating to Stewart's work on the Washington Arch committee (1872-1925, bulk 1889-1895). Topics covered include administrative matters, fundraising, the design and building of the arch, and some personal papers of Stewart's. Much of the adminstrative records and correspondence concerns subscriptions to fund the arch; the architects, suppliers, and craftsmen; and other committee business. While most of the correspondence is to/from Stewart, other committee officers are also represented including Louis Fitzgerald, Henry G. Marquand, and Richard Gilder. Fundraising records pertain to the financial aspects of subscriptions and fundraising activities to build the arch and its statuary. Several ceremonies revolved around the arch and these are recorded in photographs, memorabilia, and plans. Numerous prints and silver gelatin photographs show both the temporary and permanent arch in various levels of detail. Both a draft and published version of the book The History of the Washington Arch give an overview of the whole project. Articles chiefly from New York newspapers serve as examples of the press coverage given the arch. Also included are personal papers of Stewart relating to his work as an estates manager, local institutions with which he was involved, and social invitations. Notes: Treasurer of the Committee on Erection of the Memorial Arch at Washington Square which was organized to raise money to build a monument to the centennial anniversary of George Washington's inauguration as president of the United States in 1789; the arch was designed by architect Stanford White of McKim, Mead & White.

| description | The holographic copy [1885] of the contributors' list is an agreement signed by several people who pledged specific amounts to secure the stability of a new, official journal of the Archaeological Institute of America. The list is titled "Contribution List to the Reserve Fund." It is not dated but it is likely the reserve fund coincided with the publication of the first volume in 1885. It was hoped that $2000.00 would be raised, of which $400.00 per year could be spent. The agreement was signed by John W. McCoy, D.L. (David L.) Bartlett, Allan Marquand, Henry C. Lea, Elisabeth T. King, William E. Dodge, Jr., A.L. (Arthur Lincoln) Frothingham, and H.G. (Henry Gurdin) Marquand.

| title | Allan Marquand Papers, 1858-1951 (bulk 1878-1950) ©2005 Princeton University Library | repository | Princeton University |
| description | The collection contains the personal papers of Allan Marquand -- including manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, miscellaneous material, and printed matter -- reflecting his career in the art world, especially as an expert and cataloguer of the works of the Robbia family. Included are manuscripts for Decoration of the Ceppo Hospital at Pistoia (1902), Della Robbias in America (1912), "Some Works by Donatello in America" (1913), and Strzygowski and His Theory of Early Christian Art (1910). There is also material dating from his earlier years as a student when his interests were in the field of theology and philosophy, specifically, logic. The papers as a whole contain material for historians of Princetoniana, for there is material both direct and tangential which deals with the life of Marquand the student, founder of the Department of Art and Archaeology, chairman of the department, director of the art museum, and founder of the library that was later named for him. Related material includes the manuscript for "Painting by Hieronymus Bosch in the Princeton Art Museum." Marquand's interests extended into the greater Princeton community, and the collection chronicles the history of the Princeton Battle Monument, culminating in its dedication in 1922. Included in the collection are the papers of Eleanor Cross Marquand, wife of Allan Marquand and an authority in her own right on the identification of plant symbolism in art. Many of the notes, manuscripts, photographs, and slides she used for her articles and speeches can be found here. There are also papers of Marquand's father, Henry Gurdon Marquand, one of the founders and original benefactors of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Biographical Notes Allan Marquand was born on December 10, 1853, the son of Henry Gurdon Marquand, a prominent New York banker who was an original benefactor and co-founder of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Marquand became the salutatorian and president of the Princeton Class of 1874, and studied theology at the Princeton Theological Seminary for three years following graduation. He later received a Ph.D. in philosophy from Johns Hopkins University. During his time at Johns Hopkins, Marquand studied logic and was introduced to “logical machines,” mechanical devices built to follow logical algorithms which are often considered precursors to modern computers. He constructed his own logic machine, on display in Fine Hall library, during his early years as a professor at Princeton. As a professor at Princeton, Marquand founded Princeton's Department of Art and Archaeology. He shares with Charles Eliot Norton of Harvard the distinction of being the first to introduce the serious study of art into the curriculum of the American college. Marquand also became the first director of the Princeton Art Museum and made numerous important gifts to its collection. His own life work was an eight-volume catalogue raisonné of the works of the ateliers of members of the Robbia family, 15th- and 16th-century Florentine sculptors and ceramists.

| title | James Abbott McNeill Whistler Collection, 1841-1935 (MWalB00010) | repository | Brandeis University |
| description | The records in this collection were created between the years of 1841 and 1935. Included within this collection are autographs, letters, photographs, sales and exhibition catalogues, magazine articles, portraits, and news clippings. Also included are some reprints of artworks, and original etchings. Many of the news clippings detail events in Whistler's professional life, especially sales of artworks. Biography James A. McNeill Whistler was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, on 11 July, 1834, to Major George Washington Whistler and Anna Matilda McNeill. Although he had employment as an etcher for the US Coast Survey, Whistler moved to Europe in 1855 to pursue a career in the arts. He spent most of his life in London and made many trips to Paris. He painted as a Symbolist, as opposed to his contemporaries, the Impressionists. He had a strong preference for decorative effects, and his work could be considered a precursor to Art Nouveau. Whistler believed Modern Art should be an homage to beauty. Whistler died on July 17, 1903, in London. Born on 8 January, 1836, in Dronrijp, Denmark, Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema was an accomplished artist. His father was Pieter Jiltes Tadema, and his mother, Hinke Dirks Brouwer. At a young age, Alma-Tadema was accepted to study art at Antwerp Academy, and by the age of thirty, he was an established painter of ancient and medieval history. In 1870, Alma-Tadema moved to London, where he continued to paint scenes from Roman life. By the 1890s, Alma-Tadema had become a naturalized British citizen and a member of the Royal Academy. Alma-Tadema died in 1912, on the eve of World War I, and his reputation all but disappeared. Sir Edwin Landseer, born in London on the 7th of March, 1803, is known primarily for his animal subjects, with which he imbued a great deal of realism. By the age of 16, his paintings were on display in the Royal Academy. His paintings and bronzes feature heavily throughout museums and homes in England. In the late 19th century, Landseerwas was commissioned to create the bronze lions which are now in Trafalgar Square in London. Landseerdied on 1 October, 1873. |

| title | M. Knoedler & Co. records, approximately 1848-1971 | repository | The Getty Research Institute |
| description | The records of M. Knoedler & Co. document the business of the prominent American art dealer from the mid-19th century to 1971, when the Knoedler Gallery was acquired by Armand Hammer. The archive traces the development of the once provincial American art market into one of the world's leading art centers and the formation of the private art collections that would ultimately establish many of the nation's leading art museums, such as the Frick Collection and the National Gallery of Art. It brings to the foreground the business side of dealing as artworks shuttled back and forth among Knoedler, fellow dealers, and collectors, documenting developments in art connoisseurship, shifting tastes, the changing role of art in American society, and the essential role of private collectors in the formation of public American art collections. The records provide insight into broader economic, social and cultural histories and the nation's evolving sense of place in the world. The Knoedler Gallery became one of the main suppliers of old master and post-Impressionist paintings in the United States. Financial records of the firm provide crucial provenance information on the large number of artworks in American museums that were sold by the gallery. The archive includes stock books, sales books and commission books; correspondence with collectors, artists, art dealers and other associates; photographs of the artworks sold by the gallery; records from the firm's offices in London, Paris and other cities; exhibition files; framing and restoration records, and records of the firm's Print Department. Selected portions of the archive have been digitized and made available online. Connect to selected digitized portions of the archive. Arranged in 14 series: Series I. Stock books; Series II. Sales books; Series III. Commission books; Series IV. Inventory cards; Series V. Receiving and shipping records; Series VI. Correspondence; Series VII. Photographs; Series VIII. Exhibition files; Series IX. American Department records; Series X. Framing and restoration records; Series XI. Print Department records; Series XII. Other financial records; Series XIII. Library cards, scrapbooks, and research materials; Series XIV. Knoedler family papers Biographical/Historical Note: M. Knoedler & Co. was a successor to the New York branch of Goupil & Co., an extremely dynamic print-publishing house founded in Paris in 1827. Goupil's branches in London, Berlin, Brussels, and The Hague, as well as New York, expanded the firm's market in the sale of reproductive prints. The firm's office in New York was established in 1848. In 1857, Michael Knoedler, an employee of Goupil and a manager for the firm, bought out the interests in the firm's New York branch, conducted the business under his own name, and diversified its activities to include the sale of paintings. Roland Knoedler, Michael's son, took over the firm in 1878 and with Charles Carstairs opened galleries in Paris and London. In 1928, the management of the firm passed to Roland's nephew Charles Henschel, Carman Messmore, Charles Carstairs and Carstairs' son Carroll. In 1956 Henschel died, and E. Coe Kerr and Roland Balaÿ, Michael Knoedler's grandson, took over. In 1971 the firm was sold to businessman and collector Armand Hammer. The gallery closed in November 2011. |
