Photographs of Artists in Their Studios
A collection of seventy-four albumen print photographs of artists in their Paris studios circa 1885-1890. Frank W. Stokes (1858-1955), a New York artist known for his paintings of the polar regions, donated the collection to the Frick Art Reference Library in 1940. Mr. Stokes collected the photographs while he lived and studied in Paris from 1887-1892. It appears that some of the artists were fellow students, friends, and instructors of Mr. Stokes: he provided annotations on roughly one-third of the photographs, describing personal anecdotes and opinions regarding the artists. The artists pictured include Benjamin-Constant, Bonnat, Cormon, Courtois, Gérôme, Lefebvre, Munkácsy, Robert-Fleury, and Vuillefroy; and their American pupils, Bisbing, Bridgman, Dannat, Gay, Howe, Klumpke, McEwen, Melchers, Mosler, Stewart, and Weeks.

Endangered Library Negatives of Works of Art in Private Collections
Early in its history, The Frick Art Reference Library sponsored photographic expeditions throughout the United States as well as in Europe to document works of art not previously photographed, gaining entry to collections few researchers had any hope of seeing. The 57,000 large-format negatives that comprise this collection are, for the most part, unique visual records of lesser-known and previously unpublished works of art. The most substantial section of the collection is composed of negatives from the American campaigns. Between 1922 and 1967, Frick staff photographers conducted field trips to document works of art, primarily early American portraits, in American collections. Paintings were photographed in hundreds of private homes and small public institutions in Alabama, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington, DC.
In May 2009, the National Endowment for the Humanities awarded the Library a two-year grant to digitize 15,000 negatives from the American photography expeditions and develop a web-based interface for the digital images. In 2011, the Library received another NEH grant to complete the second stage of scanning and cataloging the remaining negatives in this valuable collection. As images and their metadata are uploaded to the database, they will be made available to the public on this site.
