Subseries 1E: Portraits, undated
Collection Overview
Collection Description & Creator Information
- Scope and Contents
Consists of typescript versions of portraits Harris wrote about various literary and political figures of his time, arranged alphabetically by the subject's name. This is followed by similar typescripts for the portraits Harris published in his fourth series of Contemporary Portraits (1923), arranged in chapter order. For many of these Harris has edited, often heavily, printed copies of the same portrait that was published earlier in Pearson's Magazine. Many of the manuscripts in this subseries bear holograph corrections, additions, and deletions.
- Arrangement
Organized alphabetically by name.
Collection History
- Custodial History
This collection was first bought from a bookshop in Nice shortly after Frank Harris's death in 1931. The material relative to Oscar Wilde has been collected; but the rest has been left largely as found, with the titles of each folder (where there is a folder, or a title) as left by Harris.
- Accruals
No accruals are expected.
- Appraisal
One printed item was transferred to Rare Books Division for cataloging; the rest has been retained.
