Overview and metadata sections

Selected by Connoisseur magazine as one of the country's all-time top 10 art collectors, Philadelphian Henry Plumer McIlhenny (1910-1986) also was celebrated for his charm and hospitality. As Andy Warhol claimed, McIlhenny was "the only person in Philadelphia with glamour," a sentiment echoed by the Philadelphia Art Alliance, which dubbed him the "first gentleman of Philadelphia." McIlhenny's energies went beyond his passion for collectinig; and his love for the arts, for entertaining, and for horticulture found numerous manifestations over the years.

The family fortune that afforded McIlhenny's gracious and generous lifestyle began with his paternal grandfather, John, who left Ireland with his widowed mother in 1843. Settling in Columbia, Georgia, via Philadelphia, the elder McIlhenny has been credited with inventing the gas meter. Upon returning to Philadelphia in the late 1870s with his wife and four children, John McIlhenny founded the gas meter-manufacturing firm of Helme and McIlhenny. Succeeded in the business by his son John Dexter (John D.), the family amassed a fortune, and their ingenuity furnished the younger McIlhenny's children with trust funds that sustained them all their lives. In 1898 John D. McIlhenny married Frances Galbraith Plumer. The couple had four children, of which Henry was the youngest. A sister died before he was born, and an older brother died in 1935. McIlhenny had a close relationship with his remaining sibling, Bernice, who was usually refered to as "Bonnie." Both children followed in their parents' commitment to civic involvement and love of the arts. Although McIlhenny's tastes deviated from that of his family, his passion for art was cultivated early on by his parents who were enthusiastic collectors of Oriental rugs, decorative arts, and 17th and 18th century paintings.

McIlhenny proved himself an able young scholar and prospered at Milton Academy, a preparatory school near Boston. According to his own recollection, he also began collecting at a young age, purchasing a few bronze statuettes at the age of 15 while on vacation in Egypt. In 1929 McIlhenny enrolled at Harvard University, graduating magna cum laude with a degree in Fine Arts in 1933. At the university, McIlhenny studied with the scholar and collector Paul Sachs, whom McIlhenny credits with refining his eye for art and galvanizing his acquisitive nature. As a sophomore in college, and often teamed up with his mother, McIlhenny began collecting in earnest when the two purchased, at the son's request, "Still Life with a Hare," (circa 1730) by Jean-Siméon Chardin. Despite this purchase of an 18th century French painting, Sach's enthusiasm for 19th century French paintings took hold of McIlhenny, and he would come to focus his major collecting activity in this area. During the Depression years, McIlhenny purchased masterpieces in rapid succession. Between 1931 and 1933, he acquired important works by Toulouse-Lautrec, Matisse, Corot, Renoir, Degas and Delacroix. McIlhenny often recalled Sach's advice that it is better not to buy "higgledy piggledy all over the map," but rather to collect in one field. He followed his mentor's advice, collecting astutely and deliberately. He retained most of his major purchases throughout his life, except when he needed, in his words, "to have plenty of cash for my old age," and to fund renovations of his properties. In 1970 he sold a Seurat, in 1973 a Renoir, and in 1983 a Cézanne, which alone sold for $3.6 million.

While McIlhenny's mother encouraged her son's early acquisitions of fine art, it was his father who set the family precedent of service and philanthropy to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. From 1918 until his death in 1925, John D. McIlhenny served as the Museum's President while it operated from its original location at Memorial Hall in Fairmount Park. He bequeathed the family art collection to the Museum. Just after his father's death, McIlhenny's mother began serving on the Associate Committee of Women and served as Museum Trustee until her death in 1943. McIlhenny and his sister Bernice would follow suit, serving in a number of capacities throughout their adult lives. Henry McIlhenny's association with the Museum began in 1933 after a year of graduate studies, when he joined the staff as Assistant Curator of Decorative Arts under the directorship of Fiske Kimball. McIlhenny's father hired Kimball just before his death, and as McIlhenny would remark jokingly, it was the appointment of this "Germanic boor" that killed his father. McIlhenny was promoted to Associate Curator of Decorative Arts in 1937 and two years later was named Curator of the department. His ambition, however, exceeded the confines of his job titles. In 1936 and 1937 he organized two major paintings exhibitions, of Degas and Daumier, respectively, both of which won international recognition. His 1939 exhibition of prints and drawings by William Blake was considered one of the most important showsin the U.S. that year. During his tenure as Curator, McIlhenny also organized exhibitions featuring Philadelphia wares and craftsmen, specifically, the furniture makers Henry Connelly and Ephraim Haines (1953), Philadelphia silver (1956) and Tucker china (1957). McIlhenny also orchestrated several noteworthy acquisitions to the Museum's collections, including French porcelain and silver, the Constantine tapestries, and the Titus C. Geesey Collection of Pennsylvania German art. From 1964 to1968, while his sister was serving as the Museum's President, McIlhenny resigned as Curator to join the Board of Trustees. He served as Vice President from 1968 to 1976, at which time he was named Chairman of the Board. He remained Chairman until his death in 1986.

It took a world war to interrupt McIlhenny's service to the Museum. As the draft was proving inevitable, McIlhenny applied for and received his commission as a Lieutenant, Junior Grade, in the Aviation Volunteer Special Class of the United States Naval Reserve in April of 1942. By the time he was released from active duty in January 1946, McIlhenny had served 29 months, including almost one and a half years aboard the USS Bunker Hill, which engaged in action in the Pacific and earned the warship crew a Presidential Unit Citation. McIlhenny received his honorable discharge in 1954 with the rank of Lieutenant Commander.

McIlhenny received a leave of absence from the service and the Museum to spend 1947 and 1948 in Rome as the Resident Art Historian at the American Academy. He endeavored to make a list of Renaissance sculpture in Rome akin to Bernard Berenson's list of paintings. The project proved too daunting for one man, and during a visit to Berenson's home the two humorously agreed that one must do nothing during one's first year in Italy.

Following his return home, McIlhenny in 1950 sold Parkgate, the family home in the Germantown section of Philadelphia and purchased a townhouse in the center of the city, at 1914 Rittenhouse Square. His Philadelphia domain would eventually expand to include the two adjoining residences, renovated to contain a grand ballroom and courtyard fit for lavish entertaining. His renown as a generous and congenial host would establish McIlhenny's Philadelphia home as a center of social activity, drawing a diversity of high profile guests, including actors, artists and royalty. McIlhenny's hospitality extended to visitors of his art collection. His paintings, which he selected in part because they were "more sympathetic in private houses," were intimately incorporated into his living space and complimented by Charles X furniture. McIlhenny's flare for interior decorating was lauded nearly as much as his art collection.

During the summers, McIlhenny made his home at a country estate nestled in the county of Donegal in northern Ireland. McIlhenny purchased Glenveagh in 1938 from the widow of Harvard art and architecture historian A. Kingsley Porter. Not yet 30 years old, McIlhenny took ownership of a 19th-century, 23-bedroom castle with some of its contents and other buildings situated on more than 25,000 acres of land in an area not far from the birthplace of his grandfather, John McIlhenny. Some 40 years later, between 1974 and 1975, McIlhenny came to an agreement with the Commissioners of Public Works to sell most of his land to the Republic of Ireland for the creation of a national park. In 1979, McIlhenny made a gift of the castle and 15 surrounding acres, but retained the right to live there until 1982. Deviating from his usual area of collecting, McIlhenny filled the castle with 18th century Irish furniture and silver, and predominantly Victorian paintings by artists such as Landseer and Ansdell. In addition, McIlhenny took particular care in planning the gardens at Glenveagh, which horticultural journals lauded.

In both Ireland and in Philadelphia, McIlhenny generously gave his time and money in support of the arts. In addition to his work with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, McIlhenny served on the boards of the Philadelphia Orchestra Association, Academy of Music, and the Philadelphia Society for the Preservation of Landmarks. Nearly two hundred other local organizations benefited from McIlhenny's support as well.

During McIlhenny's lifetime, three major exhibitions were devoted to his celebrated art collection: at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor in 1962; at the Allentown Art Museum in 1977; and in 1979 at the High Museum in Atlanta. In 1949 the Philadelphia Museum of Art featured his collection, including works by living Americans, in one of its transient galleries. In 1974, McIlhenny gave an interview conducted as part of the Archives of American Art's Oral History Program. A decade later, he was one of those featured in the British Broadcasting Corporation's television production, "The Great Collectors."

Henry McIlhenny died at the age of 75 as a result of complications from heart surgery on May 11, 1986. It was Mother's Day, and just two and a half weeks after the death of his sister. McIlhenny bequeathed his art collection to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which held a special exhibition of his gifts at the end of 1987. Prior to their exhibition, the Museum lent 50 of McIlhenny's objects to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, for a show McIlhenny had enthusiastically agreed to in the fall of 1985. One of New York's major auction houses, Christie's, held a two-day sale of the remainder of McIlhenny's estate. Prior to the sale, which fetched $3.7 million, 200 guests gathered at Christie's for a benefit dinner to honor McIlhenny and to remember the man and his "unerring sense of quality."

Amid works by David, Degas and Renoir, in rooms of silk-covered walls, marble floors and furniture of the French Restoration period, Henry Plumer McIlhenny welcomed to his Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) home visiting dignitaries, lords and ladies, maestros and movie stars, and from every walk of life, lovers of the fine and decorative arts. Unless it was summer. Then McIlhenny would be greeting guests at Glenveagh, his country estate in northern Ireland, inviting them to roam around his 24,000 acres of hills, forests and gardens, or lounge in one of the 45 rooms of his 19th century castle. The Henry P. McIlhenny Papers offer evidence to the privileged and urbane lifestyle of the man whose tastes and talents earned him a reputation as a distinguished connoisseur of art and antiques, world traveler, host extraordinaire, philanthropist and generous friend. Although McIlhenny is the primary creator, this collection is very much a family affair, encompassing the art collections initiated by his parents, John D. and Frances P. McIlhenny, which passed, along with the family trust fund, on to McIlhenny and his sister Bernice Wintersteen.

Most of the letters that comprise the first series of "Correspondence" pertain to McIlhenny's daily, personal activities, especially his busy social life. Although there is a limited amount of material with most individuals, McIlhenny's long-term friendships with professional colleagues at museums, universities and galleries in the United States and Europe, and particularly associates from McIlhenny's 30-year tenure with the Philadelphia Museum of Art are more fully documented. Other significant correspondents include prominent Philadelphia figures, such as Walter and Lee Anenberg, and friends Gloria and Emlen Etting. Correspondence divides into two subseries of "1927-1975" and "1976-1986."

The "Financial records" series consists of correspondence, bank statements, account books and journals, appraisals, insurance policies, and legal agreements. The "Appraisals and insurance" subseries pertains to the objects acquired by the family. Material regarding the disposition of the collections is located in the "Estate administration" subseries. Most of the documentation of the various bank accounts set up to administer the family trust fund is filed in the "Banking and investments" subseries, and material pertaining to the taxable deductions allowed by McIlhenny's numerous gifts of money, publications and art objects comprises the "Tax files" subseries. Household expenditures, including wages for his staffs in Philadelphia and in Ireland, can be found in the "Bookkeeping" subseries along with his personal records of investment activity.

"Family papers" comprise the smallest series although the material dates from 1866, the year of John D. McIlheny's birth, to 1985, concerning matters at East Laurel Hill Cemetery. The "Correspondence" subseries is the largest and consists primarily of McIlhenny's letters to his mother and to his sister. The most detailed documentation included in the "Genealogy" subseries is three family histories that apparently were privately published. The final subseries, "Other," is comprised of various material formats and subjects. Most of the clippings are obituaries. Invitations, passports and a late nineteenth century travel journal offer a glimpse of the social life enjoyed by McIlhenny's parents.

The "Articles, interviews and lectures" series consists of a significant amount of writings about McIlhenny that were put out by major media outlets here and abroad. Popular publications in which McIlhenny's art collection and homes were featured include Connoisseur, House Beautiful, Town & Country, and Harper's Bazaar. While most clippings are from Philadelphia-based newspapers, items from the New York Times, Boston Globe and a few Irish papers are also included. Transcripts document an interview produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation and one given as part of the Archives of American Art's Oral History Program.

The next three series pertain to subjects for which McIlhenny was best known. The "Art collection" series documents many of the transactions that as a whole earned McIlhenny the distinction of being named one of the all-time Top 10 art collectors in America Including a significant amount of material pertaining to the acquisitions of McIlhenny's parents and papers documenting purchases and loans made by his sister, the series also makes apparent the family's 80-year legacy of art patronage and connoisseurship. Material includes receipts, invoices, correspondence, loan forms, photographs, clippings, and other material documenting works of art the McIlhennys owned, sold, or considered for purchase. The artists cited in the first subseries, "Objects by artist," attest to the different tastes of father and son; namely Old European Masters versus nineteenth-century French and English artists. Both the "Objects by genre" and "Dealers, museums and others" subseries make obvious the breadth of the collections built by the McIlhennys. In addition to painting and sculpture, almost every type of decorative art is represented, from furniture to fireirons, as well as books, ceramics, textiles, jewelry and gems. Most of the documentation in the "Subjects" subseries pertains to loans, visitor requests and gifts although other files deal generally with the purchase, shipping, insuring or disposing of items. "Photographs and publications" offer published and unpublished illustrations of objects in the family's collections.

The "Residence" series documents where McIlhenny made his home and the measures he took to make each residence suitable to his tastes. Correspondence, invoices and receipts make up the bulk of the material, documenting approximately half a century of fine living, along with photographs, drawings, fabric swatches and ephemera. The "Philadelphia" subseries pertains to several addresses in the metropolitan area, including the family homestead in Germantown, McIlhenny's later home in Center City and his sister's homes in Chestnut Hill and later in Villanova. The second series, "Glenveagh," pertains primarily to McIlhenny's country estate in County Donegal, located in the northwest of Ireland. A small portion of the material pertains to Dunlewy, another estate in the area, which McIlhenny owned apparently as a rental property for approximately ten years. The third subseries, "Gardening and related topics" reflects a passion shared by the McIlhenny family, and documents a variety of landscape and gardening ventures.

The "Affiliation" series documents McIlhenny's lifetime of service and philanthropy to numerous institutions in Philadelphia and in Ireland, especially those related to his passions of art, music, gardening, and interior design. Contributions given by his sister and by his mother are also included. Material includes correspondence, invoices and receipts, ephemera, and meeting minutes, the bulk of which relates to McIlhenny's affiliation with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia Orchestra Association, the Academy of Music and the Metropolitan Opera. Separate subseries pertain to each of these organizations. The "Various affiliations" pertain to the other numerous institutions that McIlhenny supported monetarily or through active participation.

The "Other subjects" series touches on other aspects of McIlhenny's life and lifestyle, particularly his flair for entertaining and his passion for globetrotting, each of which is documented, respectively, in the "Social events" and "Travel" subseries. Comprised of correspondence, invoices, numerous lists and notes, and frequently revised itineraries, each subseries underscores McIlhenny's attention to detail and adherence to doing everything in grand style. The third subseries, "Various," consists of an assortment of documentation, identified either by material type or subject. An example of the former is the set of folders identified as "Invoices." Selected during processing, these papers give a sampling of the types of goods and services McIlhenny purchased regularly. The largest set of subject-related folders pertains to McIlhenny's military service in the United States Naval Reserve during and after World War II.

Over a period of more than 55 years, three personal secretaries maintained Henry P. McIlhenny's files, resulting in different filing systems and retention practices. While the earliest secretarial assistant kept individual files for each correspondent and retained only certain invoices, her successors filed correspondence in general alphabetical order and kept what appears to be almost all invoices and/or receipts, also in general alphabetical order. In preparing the catalog for its 1987-1988 exhibition of the McIlhenny collection bequeathed to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, curatorial staff made significant use of relevant portions of the papers, which probably led to further rearrangement.

The designated series reflect categories that were imposed earlier and in varying degrees to the papers, arranging material by document types and topics. "Correspondence," "Financial records," "Family records," and "Articles, interview and lectures" make up the four material-type series. The three topical series that follow reflect the areas of McIlhenny's lifestyle for which he was best known, namely his "Art collection," his "Residences," and his "Affiliations" with the many organizations and institutions that benefited from his generosity and expertise. The final series, "Other subjects" encompasses smaller groupings of topical material, namely "Social events" and "Travel." The "Various" subseries houses other subjects and document types.

Because of the large amount of invoices, retention guidelines were established to insure that research value would not be jeopardized while maintaining practical and efficient processing standards. While some invoices pertain to the late 1930s, most date from 1960 to 1986, and the amount of information contained therein varies.

The significance of McIlhenny's fine and decorative art collection requires the retention of all relative invoices, regardless of amount of information. In keeping with the organization of earlier purchases (most of which were made by his parents), later invoices for all books and for jewelry have been added to the "Art collection" series. The other category of invoices retained entirely pertains to horticulture and therefore includes all gardening and landscaping expenses, as well as florist orders.

In assessing the remaining invoices, the first criterion was that there be some degree of detail, such as an itemized bill. The account books processed in the "Bookkeeping" subseries of the "Financial record" series offers the same information that can be gleaned from invoices showing only total dollar amounts. Itemized invoices retained were those documenting the more routine aspects of a privileged lifestyle, such as clothing, groceries, and health and beauty aids. Because only itemized invoices have been retained, the material must be studied as a sampling of such expenditures. All these invoices are part of the "Various" subseries in the "Other subject" series. Itemized invoices pertaining to interior decoration and renovations in Philadelphia and at Glenveagh have been processed in the respective subseries of the "Residence" series. In keeping with the original arrangement of earlier dated material in the "Philadelphia" subseries, later invoices pertaining to maintenance and repair, security and utilities were also retained.

June and July 2004. Approximately 1/2 linear foot of material was given by Ms. Katharine H. Norris, personal secretary to McIlhenny from 1980 to 1986. Primarily clippings, other documentation includes her desk calendar, photographs and notes pertaining primarily to the management of the Rittenhouse Square residence.

Posthumously published writings regarding McIlhenny's art that were acquired by the Museum's European Painting department were added at the time of processing. Publications include magazines, newspapers, and exhibition and auction catalogs.

Scope and Content Note

While the Correspondence series touches upon the various topics detailed in the other series, most of the letters pertain to McIlhenny's daily, personal activities, especially his busy social life. Based on many of the correspondents, this series attests to the privileged company he kept and reinforces the reputation McIlhenny earned as a distinguished connoisseur of art and antiques, world traveler, social planner and host, philanthropist and generous friend. While there is a limited amount of material with most individuals, many of the correspondents were among the most prominent in their fields, including government representatives, actors, maestros, musicians, members of royalty, clergy, and numerous titled gentry. More fully documented are McIlhenny's long-term friendships with professional colleagues at museums, universities and galleries in the United States and Europe, including John Coolidge, Paul Sachs, Arthur Upham Pope, Perry Townsend Rathbone, James Johnson Sweeney, and the artists Derek Hill and Emlen Etting. From his half-century association with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, McIlhenny's most frequent correspondents included R. Sturgis Ingersoll, Henry Clifford, Robert Montgomery Scott, Joseph Rishel and Anne d'Harnoncourt. There is also significant correspondence with friends and frequent travel companions Gloria Etting and Angus Menzies, as well as with publishing magnate and fellow philanthropist and art collector, Walter H. Annenberg and his wife Lee. Correspondence primarily dating from the 1950s and 1960s with McIlhenny's sister Bernice Wintersteen and her four sons is also included. Earlier letters are part of the "Family records" series.

From the number of telegram transcriptions contained in the series, McIlhenny frequently relied on the wire service to communicate quickly with friends and associates. The subseries divisions reflect the two filing systems apparently utilized by McIlhenny's personal secretaries. In the first subseries, which comprises the years 1927 to 1975, there is a folder for each correspondent. Correspondence is then subdivided by McIlhenny's two bases of operation--Philadelphia and Ireland, the latter being the location of his summer estate, Glenveagh. In the second subseries of correspondence dating from 1976 to 1986, most of the material has been kept in general alphabetical runs, thus comprising more than one individual author per folder. Also as originally maintained by McIlhenny, most of the correspondence in both subseries has been processed by name of the individual, regardless of any organizational affiliation.

Physical Description

12.5 linear feet

Scope and Content Note

Most of this correspondence dates from the late 1930s to the early 1970s and reflects McIlhenny's extensive circle of friends and acquaintances that developed from his interest in the arts, travel and horticulture, and his busy lifestyle as curator, collector, host-extraordinaire, patron and adviser. Even during the years of World War II and his tenure in the Naval Reserve, McIlhenny continued to pursue his many interests, thanks in large part to the apparently dedicated staff he had in Philadelphia as well as at Glenveagh. Among his correspondents are noted art historians and long-time acquaintances, Paul Sachs and Arthur Upham Pope, the musical director of the Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy, as well as Hollywood legends, first ladies, duchesses and kings.

The two sub-subseries reflect how McIlhenny generally divided his time--conducting business and entertaining in Philadelphia, and living the life of a country gent in Ireland.

Arrangement

Alphabetical.

Scope and Content Note

As the correspondents in this sub-subseries make evident, McIlhenny cultivated a social network that reached across noted names in all the arts, as well as titled gentry, royalty and political figures. Whenever celebrities of the stage, screen or concert hall were performing in Philadelphia, McIlhenny would invite them to his home at Rittenhouse Square, just a stone's throw away from the major theatres and hotels. Although they could not always accept the offer, invitees included Noel Coward, Cole Porter, Vivien Leigh, Helen Hayes, Gian Carlo Menotti and Anna Moffo. When they did come, they apparently enjoyed themselves. In a 1950 letter to the British artist Derek Hill, McIlhenny writes that he threw a terrific party for Tallulah Bankhead one Saturday night, and that she did not leave until 6:15 the next morning. Numerous ladies, lords, marquises, and the like comprised McIlhenny's European correspondents. Most of those letters pertain to scheduling stateside visits with McIlhenny, during those months when he wasn't vacationing abroad. Sharing McIlhenny's enthusiasm for travel was another correspondent and personal friend, Gloria Etting, wife of Philadelphia artist Emlen Etting. In addition to her letters, clippings from Etting's newspaper column, "Philadelphians Abroad," are also included. In two of these articles, Etting writes exclusively of her 1956 and 1966 jaunts to Glenveagh. There is also a significant amount of correspondence with Lucy Porter, the previous owner of Glenveagh, who remained in contact with McIlhenny for nearly twenty years. Another correspondent with whom McIlhenny mixed business with pleasure is Angus Menzies. Menzies was a director of the General Trading Co., a London firm specializing in antiques, giftware, and interior decoration. As noted in one of Etting's 1952 columns, Menzies was also a traveling companion of theirs. In their twenty-year correspondence, McIlhenny relied on Menzies to furnish and decorate his homes in Philadelphia and Ireland as well as to select numerous wedding gifts, usually in the form of picnic baskets. Additional documentation of these transactions can be found in the "Art collection" series, filed under the firm name.

Although limited to a letter or two in each, several files underscore McIlhenny's reputation as a respected and sought-after authority of the fine and decorative arts. In a 1961 letter, Richard M. Nixon thanks McIlhenny not only for supporting his presidential campaign but also for agreeing to serve on the Committee of the Arts for Nixon-Lodge (the latter referring to Nixon's 1960 running mate, Henry Cabot Lodge). McIlhenny's support of Nixon apparently did not dissuade Jackie Kennedy from inviting him to join the advisory committee of the Commission of Fine Arts for the White House, which she initiated in 1962. The only evidence in these records of McIlhenny's involvement is an invitation to tea and a thank you from the First Lady. In a 1964 letter, Lady Bird Johnson invited McIlhenny to continue advising her and the Committee on the Preservation of the White House. Far richer in documentation is McIlhenny's participation as curator and advisor to the restoration of the Lancaster, Pennsylvania home of President James Buchanan. Because McIlhenny's extensive involvement with the project required him to be in contact with several individuals, he maintained the material under its organizational title, which cited correctly is the James Buchanan Foundation for the Preservation of Wheatland.

For some individuals, the only documentation consists of a note, usually of the person's address. In these cases, folder titles include "Note" after the person's name to indiciate that there is no correspondence. The "miscellaneous" alphabetical folders reflect original arrangement and identification. The final three folders, identified geographically, are thank you letters and other follow-up correspondence with various individuals with whom McIlhenny socialized while vacationing at those particular locales.

Scope and Content Note

Most of the correspondents in this sub-subseries resided or did business in County Donegal, and thereby suggest the surrounding community and its interactions with Glenveagh, McIlhenny's country estate in the northwest of Ireland. With many written during the early 1940s, their letters give voice to the ways of life necessitated by war. Many are letters of thanks to McIlhenny for sending items from America that were rationed or in short supply in Europe, particularly tea, as well as clothing, and occasionally money. McIlhenny appears to have donated regularly to many of the churches in the county, and corresponded with a number of the clergy, who kept him abreast of current local affairs. In particular are the letters of Fr. John Finnegan who apparently kept a close eye on Glenveagh, and would give brief reports on the conditions of the castle, the deer, and his conversations with some of the staff. Regarding the letter held together with tape, wartime censors snipped out the cleric's observations of allied armed forces. When Finnegan left the area, Fr. Alphonsus Sharkey appears to have picked up the correspondence with McIlhenny through the late 1950s. From his letters, he particularly enjoyed the trout fishing afforded by the lakes at Glenveagh. From the number of requests and expressions of gratitude sent by many others, Glenveagh also offered ideal forests for deer stalking.

This sub-subseries also contains a few letters with several employees at Glenveagh, including stalkers, groundskeepers, and two of his early agents, as well as with Americans planning to visit the estate. Other correspondence documents McIlhenny's dealings with various departments of the Irish government concerning issues such as importation, taxation and the purchase of deer. At issue in the correspondence of the Donegal Service Depot is whether McIlhenny should import a station wagon from the U.S. or purchase one made by the Henry Ford plant in Cork. In addition to matters such as customs regulations and duties discussed in the letters, the accompanying ephemera and photographs vividly illustrate automobile design and advertising of the early 1950s. It appears McIlhenny decided to have the Cork facility assemble his eight-seater, four-door wagon with solid mahogany panels.

A number of original folders contained more invoices than correspondence. Any letters of substance, that contained information other than an enclosed bill or acknowledgment of payment, were retained and filed in the "alphabet" folders created during processing. [See the "Arrangement" note at the collection level for a detailed explanation of the processing protocol determined for invoices.] Subject files conclude the sub-subseries and reflect the original folder identification.

Scope and Content Note

Covering the last decade of his life, this correspondence primarily documents McIlhenny's extensive social activities and the numerous friendships he cultivated in America and abroad. Many of the letters pertain to an exchange of invitations to dinner parties, cultural events, and vacation rendezvous, along with follow-up thank you notes. There are also numerous letters of thanks from McIlhenny for the many gifts he'd receive, ranging from a duck door knocker and jar of Col. Biddle's curry powder to having a star named after him as a Christmas gift in 1982. Knowing his interest in horticulture, long-time friends, such as Walter and Lee Annenberg, often sent plants and flowers. Based on the number of times received, orchids were McIlhenny's favorite. He also apparently enjoyed receiving cookbooks, and various foods, such as caviar, which he claimed to be his "favorite dish," and chocolate mints, which he described as his "fatal weakness." A number of museum colleagues and art dealers often sent McIlhenny exhibition catalogues, while other friends and acquaintances would send newspaper and magazine clippings, usually regarding Glenveagh. Letters written by McIlhenny's secretary informing correspondents of his death in the spring of 1986 are included as well as letters of condolence, including a photocopy of a telegram sent by President Ronald Reagan to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Some correspondence refers to McIlhenny's art collection and various organizational affiliations. Most are general inquiries and solicitations, or a mix of business with long-standing friendships. In both cases, appropriate cross-references were made. Some papers were transferred to other series. The only correspondence too numerous to cross-reference or transfer were requests to see or to borrow works of art from McIlhenny's collection. Almost every folder contains at least one visitor's request. The loan requests are less frequent, and McIlhenny refused most. (The many requests to which McIlhenny did agree are in the "Art collection" series). McIlhenny's personal letters of thanks to various individuals for their contributions to the Philadelphia Museum of Art are also included. The four folders at the end of the subseries each consist of multiple correspondents. "Australia" consists of thank you and other follow-up letters McIlhenny wrote upon return from his 1978 vacation down under. The letters in the "Thank you" folder are to friends identified by first name only. Most of the "To whom it may concern" correspondence pertains to employees of McIlhenny. The signatures to letters in the "Unidentified" folder were indecipherable.

The use of general alphabetical folders reflects the original filing system, as does the combining of "Philadelphia" and "Ireland" correspondence. During processing, however, any correspondent represented with at least ten items was filed individually.

Arrangement

Alphabetical.

Scope and Content Note

Consisting of correspondence, bank statements, account books and journals, appraisals, insurance policies, and legal agreements, among other material, this series documents approximately 50 years of the financial management of McIlhenny's assets, and to a lesser extent that of his sister, Bernice Wintersteen. McIlhenny's fine and decorative art collection, like that of his father's, was his most valuable and enduring investment. Appraisals and inventories of both collections, and insurance placed on these objects can be found in the "Appraisals and insurance" subseries. Material regarding the disposition of both collections is located in the "Estate administration" subseries. McIlhenny's income, and that of his sister's, was generated almost exclusively by trust fund accounts set up by his parents at the Girard, First Pennsylvania and Fidelity Bank. Files related to these accounts are numerous, and occupy the "Banking and investments," "Bookkeeping," and "Estate administration" subseries. McIlhenny was a continuous contributor to cultural and charitable organizations. Material documenting tax-deductible gifts of money, publications and art objects is located in the "Tax files" subseries. Household expenditures, including wages for his staffs in Philadelphia and in Ireland, can be found in the "Bookkeeping" subseries along with his personal records of investment activity.

Correspondents most heavily represented in this series are the corporate entities of Girard Bank, First Pennsylvania Bank, the law firm of Ballard, Spahr, Ingersoll and Andrews, which handled McIlhenny's tax filings and estate administration, and Cooke and Bieler, Inc., McIlhenny's investment advisers.

In each subseries the financial records of Bernice Wintersteen are filed last. Because matters of estate were so intimately shared between the siblings, material regarding the estates of their parents in the fourth subseries, "Estate administration" applies to them both.

Arrangement

Alphabetical by subject, Bernice Wintersteen files last.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries contains material pertaining to appraisals and inventories of the estates of John D., Frances P. and Henry P. McIlhenny and Bernice Wintersteen. Of significance are photographs of furnishings at Parkgate, the former home of John D. McIlhenny's collection of art and antiques. These photographs were taken presumably in conjunction with the Federal Appraisal Company's 1910 appraisal.

Also included is insurance-related material, such as policies, invoices, receipts and correspondence with insurance brokers. A significant portion of this material pertains to fine arts insurance and can be found in folders with that title. Some other types of insurance constitute their own folders, while all other insurance material resides in folders titled "various insurance." "Various insurance" is organized into two groups, correspondence and insurance policies, reflecting original arrangement.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries contains material regarding Henry McIlhenny's banking and investment activity and consists primarily of bank statements and correspondence with banks. This material is filed separately, reflecting the original arrangement. Henry McIlhenny's major source of income was from the trust accounts set up by his father at First Pennsylvania Bank, Fidelity Bank and by his mother at Girard Bank. These and other accounts set up at the three institutions make up the bulk of McIlhenny's Philadelphia banking. Significant overseas banking took place at Northern Banking Company in Ireland. McIlhenny also set up checking accounts in other locations he traveled to with frequency, such as Italy, London, Austria, Hawaii and Long Island. Most of the material in this subseries reflects routine transactions. Subject files contain less routine transactions, such as mortgages, funds from sale of Cézanne's "White Sugar Bowl" and the establishment of a unitrust with Harvard University.

Cooke and Bieler, Inc. managed all of McIlhennys investments. This material dates from 1937 to 1984 and includes portfolio summaries and correspondence with investment recommendations, reports and invoices for services rendered.

Arrangement

Folders are arranged alphabetically by subject, Bernice Wintersteen files last. Within federal income tax folders tax forms, tax correspondence and notes come first with material related to charitable contributions last and in alphabetical order.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries contains McIlhenny's, and to a lesser extent Bernice Wintersteen's, tax files. The bulk consists of federal income tax files and includes tax forms, reports, notes, inventories, appraisals, and correspondence. Most of the correspondence is with Ballard, Spahr, Andrews & Ingersol. Other correspondents include Cooke and Bieler, the United States Treasury Department, Girard Bank and First Pennsylvania Bank. There is also a significant amount of correspondence with the various organizations and institutions receiving charitable contributions, which sometimes were made as deeds of gift of art objects. As documented here, the most frequent recipients of McIlhenny's largesse were the Philadelphia Museum of Art, to which he donated numerous works of art over time, the Academy of Music, the Metroplitain Opera, and two of his alma maters, Milton Academy and Harvard University.

McIlhenny's federal income tax files span the years of 1938 to 1985. City of Philadelphia wage and federal unemployment tax files date from the 1940s to the 1980s. Less extensive files include city taxations on personal property, real estate, school income and water and sewer rents, as well as federal gift and state income taxes. Bernice Wintersteen's material includes federal income tax files from 1953 to 1966, and other city and federal filings.

Scope and Content Note

The material in this small series documents family matters from cradle to grave. The earliest item is a note for "Little Johnny" from one of "Santa's agents" and written in 1866, the year of John D. McIlhenny's birth. The papers concerning repairs to the Plumer family mausoleum at East Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia date from 1985. The "Correspondence" subseries is the largest and consists primarily of McIlhenny's letters to his mother and to his sister, recording his experiences at summer camp and college and while on active duty in the Navy Reserve. The most detailed documentation included in the "Genealogy" subseries is three family histories that apparently were privately published. Also included are requests for biographical sketches of McIlhenny, his sister, and father for publication in journals such as Who's Who in America and the Biographical Directory of American Scholars, as well as a few letters from the elder McIlhenny's sister and cousin, tracing their Irish lineage. The final subseries, "Other," is comprised of various material formats and subjects. Most of the clippings are obituaries. Invitations, passports and a travel journal offer a glimpse of the social life enjoyed by McIlhenny's parents.

Arrangement

McIlhenny's correspondence to his mother and sister, each arranged chronologically, is followed by his correspondence to others, arranged alphabetically by recipient. Correspondence written by other relatives precedes that written by non-family, and both groups are arranged alphabetically by author.

Scope and Content Note

McIlhenny penned many of the letters that comprise this subseries, writing primarily to his mother as a youngster at summer camp and as a young man in college and to his sister while on active duty in the Navy Reserve during World War II. Correspondence written by various family members and other individuals makes up the remainder, and includes glimpses of family life prior to McIlhenny's birth.

Written one to eight years after his father's death, McIlhenny's letters to his mother often make evident a young man's attempt to serve as head of the house. He advises on the upkeep of the gardens and grounds and in one letter stresses the need for a "decent household," and urges his mother to use her "Davenport resolve" in hiring staff, alluding to her maternal family ancestry. Although almost all of McIlhenny's letters from Harvard University are not dated, his references to Dunster House, which housed upper classmen, suggest 1932 and 1933, his final years as an undergraduate. Although McIlhenny writes about his studies, he reserves most of his remarks for his social activities. Having membership in the Signet Society, the Institute of 1770, the Hasty Pudding Club, DKE (probably referring to Delta Kappa Epsilon) and the Iroquois Club, McIlhenny declares "all my aspirations are realized." Apparently after completing his A.B. at Harvard, McIlhenny travels to Europe in August 1933. He seems to have had a definite agenda while in London and Paris, writing to his mother that "the desire to collect consumes me with a raging fire." As most of the letters from this trip prove, McIlhenny combatted these consuming flames with a whirlwind shopping spree, buying for himself, his mother and his sister. His purchases included some of the most notable works of art in his collection, including Delacroix's portrait of Eugene Berny d'Ouville, which he tells his mother as being "perfectly beautifully painted," and "terribly Romantic in the best way," and Renoir's pen and ink drawing of the "Dancing Couple (study for 'Le Bal a Bougival')." Even then, he considered the latter as the "high mark" in his collection. McIlhenny also had to have "The Ballet Master, Jules Perrot," a drawing by Degas. Although the work would enter McIlhenny's collection several months later, the private owner changed his mind, convincing McIlhenny that a "masterpiece has slipped though my fingers." McIlhenny was completely unsuccuessful in convincing his mother to purchase a small, early work of Peter Breughel's [sic] depicting St. Michael killing the dragon. Describing it as "very minutely painted, but not irritating in its minutiae," McIlhenny felt it had great guality and that works by the artist were extremely rare. McIlhenny presented his argument over several letters, but to no avail. Purchases for his mother included antique silver items as well as an ancient Luristan Cup. For his sister, McIlhenny purchased works by Picasso, Chirico, and Lurcat.

It appears that McIlhenny's last letters to his mother were written in the summer of 1942 when he entered the service. Since she died the following March, most of his wartime correspondence aboard the USS Bunker Hill was to his sister Bernice ("Bonnie"). Although the carrier participated in many important missions in the Pacific, McIlhenny makes few references to such events. As he often notes in his letters, censorship in correspondence was strictly enforced. McIlhenny, therefore, commented on other matters, particularly Museum activities, which included the inaugural exhibition of the McIlhenny collection bequeathed by his father and featured in the January 1944 Museum Bulletin. McIlhenny's wartime writings end at the close of 1944 when he received orders to report to the Bureau of Aeronautics in Washington D.C. The correspondence that follows are letters he wrote, most as a youngster, to several other relatives, including his maternal grandmother and aunt.

The next group of correspondence was written by and to various relatives and documents some of the earliest activities of McIlhenny's immediate family. Included is a letter that McIlhenny's father wrote to his parents in March 1898 announcing his engagement to the lovely and sweet "Fanny." In another letter, written a few days after their June 15 wedding of the same year, the groom mentions removing the balloons that decorated their carriage and the slipper tacked to the trunk. The young couple was still removing the rice from their luggage as they readied for sailing to Europe for the summer. In a September letter, the bride wrote to her family of their homeward bound voyage, and particularly of what appears to have been her husband's sea sickness.

Included in the correspondence written by other individuals to McIlhenny's parents is a letter from the headmaster at Episcopal Academy, reporting on the "splendid showing" made by young Henry in his studies. The "Helme & McIlhenny" folder pertains to the gas meter manufacturing company, upon which the family's fortune was built. By 1932 the company, at the time run by McIlhenny's brother, John Jr., closed. The correspondence between several employees and McIlhenny's mother pertains to compensation for the closing.

Scope and Content Note

Although McIlhenny marked only a limited amount of material as "genealogy" (or "genealogy/bio"), the topic was clearly of interest not only to him but also to his father. Letters from John D. McIlhenny's sister Isabel Nichols and cousin Selina Baillie give accounts of their Scotch and Irish ancestry, as well as a link to the Huguenot refugees who settled in Ulster in the 17th century. The most detailed accounts are the three volumes, which apparently were privately published. The McIlhenny-King and Plumer writings begin with his father's and mother's relatives who were the first to settle in the United States. The third volume chronicles the activities of his grandfather and father, and was probably intended to include later information of the McIlhenny offspring. Additional biographical information of family members is included in the clippings filed in the following "Other" subseries.

Genre folders precede topical ones, with each grouping in alphabetical order.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries is comprised of various material types and subjects. Of the former, newspaper clippings are the most numerous, and most are obituaries of John D. McIlhenny's immediate family with the exception of Carol Judd, who was Frances's niece. Childhood memorabilia include a landscape drawing most likely by Henry P. McIlhenny in his interpretation of the "cubist" style, a paper doll drawn by his sister and the baptismal certificate of their older brother, John D. Jr. A note from one of "Santa's agents" commemorates their father's first Christmas as it was written in 1866, the year he was born. The earliest documentation pertaining to Frances P. McIlhenny is an IOU (or receipt) she wrote in 1876 to her uncle for "a pretty doll." The most detailed documentation in this subseries is her journal, which is included in the "travel" subject files. Written between 1894 and 1896 to record the family's European travels, Frances describes in detail their many social activities, including a presentation at the German court, and of the sights, giving historical background to many of the places, as well as sometimes cutting commentary of natives and fellow travelers. The dedicated journalist also inserted many clippings to illustrate her accounts. Of a later date is the ephemera identified as "Social events." These invitations, primarily to luncheons and weddings, offer a glimpse of the social circle in which Henry P. McIlhenny's parents moved. "Writings" conclude the subject files, and included in those by John D. McIlhenny are his views on the value of art, published in two Philadelphia newspaper columns during his tenure as president of the Museum. In one he presents the commercial value of an art museum to its city, primarily by generating tourist dollars, and in the other, he discusses the establishment of American scholarship and the importance of a national art style.

Arrangement

Magazine articles are arranged indivudually in alphabetical order and precede clippings, which are filed alphabetically by subject

Scope and Content Note

As the number of writings in this series makes evident, both the American and European media found McIlhenny and his way of life well worth reporting. The first set of folders pertains to magazine articles, which are listed separately. In many, the titles alone underscore McIlhenny's reputation as patron of the arts and the epitome of elegance. An example is a 1984 piece in Connoisseur magazine that proclaimed: "McIlhenny's art collection is nearly perfect, so is his life." A year earlier, the same publication ran an article entitled, "America's 101 top collectors." McIlhenny was number ten. As to the man behind the art, the townhouse and country castle, Patrick Gallagher, McIlhenny's butler of almost 25 years, summarized his employer's character with an anecdote published in a 1988 article in Gentlemen's Quarterly. When a guest mistakenly drank from his finger bowl, McIlhenny picked up his own bowl and did the same. To Gallagher, such was the response of "a true gentleman." The "Clippings" folders each contain multiple newspaper articles, grouped by general topic. Most of the newspapers are Philadelphia-based. Several of the Irish clippings pertain to McIlhenny's employees at Glenveagh castle, reporting on special events such as a wedding or christening.

This series also contains several folders that document two in-depth interviews of McIlhenny. In 1984 the BBC produced "Great Collectors," and McIlhenny was one of those featured in the program. The show aired in Britain the following summer, and the video cassette sent to McIlhenny was shown at his 75th birthday party given by the Philadelphia Museum of Art. A photocopy of the nearly 200-page transcript is included here along with some pre- and post-production correspondence and the BBC's film schedule. A photocopied transcript documents a 1974 interview of McIlhenny by Paul Cummings. The interview was conducted as part of the Archives of American Art's Oral History Program. There are also transcripts of a few slide lectures McIlhenny gave, as well as various drafts of an essay McIlhenny wrote about his gardens in Glenveagh, and which apparently was intended for a Dublin publication.

Scope and Content Note

This series documents many of the transactions that as a whole earned Henry McIlhenny the distinction of being named one of the all-time top 10 art collectors in America At the same time, it underscores the building of the McIlhenny collection as a true family affair, comprising an 80-year legacy of art patronage and connoisseurship in the fine and decorative arts. Thus, a significant amount of material pertaining to the acquisitions of McIlhenny's parents, John D. and Frances P., is intermingled in these files, as are papers documenting purchases and loans made by his sister, Bernice McIlhenny Wintersteen. This material also makes apparent how, after the death of the senior McIlhenny, the son and mother often acted as a shrewd and astute team, negotiating with dealers and galleries. Documentation of other transactions, particularly with auction houses and museums, gives some idea as to how McIlhenny and his sister handled their parents' collection as it passed to the next generation. The reputation of the McIlhenny collection and the family's willingness to make it available to others is supported in the numerous loan requests, many of which were granted, as well as the number of objects gifted to various institutions, with the biggest benefactor being the Philadelphia Museum of Art. By the number of requests granted, Henry McIlhenny also was generous in allowing visitors to his Rittenhouse Square residence, where they could view his objects in situ.

Another aspect of this series that becomes readily apparent is that different subseries contain similar materials that document similar topics, particularly purchases and loans. Based on original folder titles and occasional notations that McIlhenny made on these papers, he intentionally categorized his records in this way--judging his collection by artist, by institution, by object type or by type of activity. Also evident is is that McIlhenny constantly received requests to lend his collection. While he agreed to many, if not most, of these loans, McIlhenny also found it necessary to turn down a significant number.

The artists cited in the first subseries, "Objects by artist," attest to the different tastes of father and son. Whereas works by Old European Masters indicate the elder McIlhenny's preferences, the multiple works by Cezanne, Degas, Delacroix and Renoir define Henry McIlhenny's enthusiasm for nineteenth-century French paintings. Both the "Objects by genre" and "Dealers, museums and others" subseries make obvious the breadth of the collections built by the McIlhennys. In addition to painting and sculpture, almost every type of decorative art is represented in these papers, from furniture to fireirons, as are other objects, such as books, textiles, jewelry and gems. Also of note are other purchases McIlhenny includes in these papers, namely of items intended for everyday use as opposed to display. Orders for sets upon sets of imported china, glassware and household linens suggests McIlhenny's grand style of living and an appreciation for any and every object to be one of beauty and fine craftsmanship. Most of the documentation in the "Subjects" subseries pertains to loans, visitor requests and gifts although other files deal generally with the purchase, shipping, insuring or disposing of items. Most of the photograph files in the "Photographs and publications" subseries pertain to objects in the collections of McIlhenny and his parents. Paintings acquired by both generations are well documented as are the silverware and rugs McIlhenny's parents collected so avidly. Publications consist of several exhibition and two estate auction catalogs, as well as one scholarly article published in 1972 regarding a work by Degas that McIlhenny owned at the time.

Additional information pertaining to McIlhenny's fine and decorative art collections can be found in the "Articles, interviews and lectures" series, and the "Appraisals and insurance" subseries of the "Financial records" series.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries is comprised of receipts, invoices, correspondence, loan forms, photographs, clippings, and other material documenting works of art owned, sold, or considered for purchase by Henry P. McIlhenny. Most of the files pertain to French paintings, as this was McIlhenny's particular area of collecting interest, although there are also files on the British painters whose works McIlhenny acquired to decorate his Irish castle, Glenveagh, most notably, Sir Edwin Landseer. Documentation regarding works owned by McIlhenny's father, mother, and sister is intermingled. Files related to the elder McIlhenny's collection are easily distinguished by their early date, and most commonly pertain to Old Master painters, including Sano di Pietro, Fra Mariano Angeli, and Domenico Campagnola. Such files commonly contain correspondence with W. R. Valentiner, John D. McIlhenny's personal consultant for art collection matters. A folder of additional letters from Valentiner is included in the "Dealers, museums and others" subseries. A few invoices from dealers to Valentiner as he purchased on behalf of McIlhenny are also included.

Material pertaining to McIlhenny's collection primarily dates from the late 1930s to the late 1970s, and provides a broad overview of how he built and administered his superb collection. There is significant documentation of McIlhenny's many negotiations with dealers for purchases, sometimes made in part by exchange of other works. A few files include documentation of the disposition of works through auction, including Paul Cézanne's "White Sugar Bowl," Pierre-Auguste Renoir's "Judgment of Paris" and Georges Seurat's "Le Poseuses." Numerous files include incoming loan requests from museums, many of which McIlhenny granted. During periods when McIlhenny was not easily reachable, specifically when he was actively serving in the military, his sister was responsible for overseeing these requests, as evidenced in the papers.

Of particular note are two original documents dating from 1817-1821 that seemingly relate to supplies and other expenses incurred by the artist Gericault.

Arrangement

Alphabetical by genre. Within each genre subgroup, alphabetically-arranged files of multiple authors precede single-author files, which are also in alphabetical order.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries is comprised primarily of correspondence, invoices and receipts, and documents McIlhenny's seemingly endless appetite and appreciation in acquiring a variety of antique objects as well as numerous finer-made items for his everyday use. Spanning almost eight decades, the material pertains not only to McIlhenny's purchases for his homes in Philadelphia and Ireland but also to a number of similar dealings initiated by his parents and sister. Based on the amount of documentation, certain dealers enjoyed long and profitable ties with the family, such as the New York firm of French & Company, the British concern Mallett and Son Antiques, and Arnold Seligmann, Rey & Co. of Paris and New York.

The "Furniture" subgroup makes up the largest number of files. English and French tables, chairs and case pieces of the 16th to 18th centuries make up the most frequent purchases as do a significant number of mirrors. A few antique mantels, such as the one the senior McIlhenny bought from the early retail magnate John Wanamaker (his New York store) are also documented here, as well as a sarcophagus. Such non-furniture items have been noted in the folder title where possible. The "Silver" files underscore Henry McIlhenny's passion for collecting an array of antique items, such as a George II silver picnic set (from Asprey & Co.) While the "Ceramics" files contain papers pertaining to Meissen, Chinese, and Oriental Lowestoft pieces, there is significant documentation of McIlhenny buying more utilitarian dinnerware, albeit befitting his tastes. For example, in 1955 when his monogrammed service (including 48 dinner plates) arrived in Philadelphia, he wrote to the Portugese manufacturer that he was "almost in tears." "They got my intitials wrong! It really is a disaster." Apparently McIlhenny was pleased with their remedy to the situation since he placed another order with them in 1961 (including 72 dinner plates each for Philadelphia and Glenveagh), and again in 1973 (including approximately 25 dinner plates for each residence). Most of the "Glass" and a few of the "Textiles" files pertain to housewares, although receipts for antique brocades, garments and tapestries are also included. Purchase of a boar's head and armadillo skin is also included in this genre. The other genre groups, based on McIlhenny's classifications, are "Books," "Jewelry and gems," "Lighting fixtures", "Metalwork," "Paintings," "Sculpture," and "Stained Glass." For paintings and sculpture there is more significant documentation in the "Objects by artist" subseries. A number of folders in the "Dealers, museums and others" subseries also pertain to a variety of purchases made by McIlhenny and his family, including "everyday" items.

Within all the genre categories, papers generated from a shipping agent or customs official are often included with the seller's documentation. In some cases, papers are filed by the name of such middlemen when no accompanying dealer documentation appears to exist. It is also important to note that many invoices cover the purchase of a variety of objects, and therefore include more than one genre. While McIlhenny's original classification has been maintained, as many cross-references as possible have been made to single-author files.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries documents institutions and individuals who for the most part would contact McIlhenny in the hopes to sell, buy or borrow works of fine and decorative art and antiquities. Material pertaining to his parents' collection, including its disposition as shared between McIlhenny and his sister, is intermingled. Requests for photographs of McIlhenny's collection, permission to publish, and general art inquiries are also included. Material consists primarily of correspondence and invoices, along with a few photographs, clippings and catalogs.

Although McIlhenny refused many of the objects offered and requests for loans filed in this subseries, a significant number of purchases and some loan agreements are documented as well. Where possible, such transactions have been noted in the folder title. Additional material, primarily invoices and receipts, was added to this subseries during processing. Originally residing in general alphabetical runs, these papers, filed by firm name, pertain to the same types of purchases originally filed here, including antique and everyday objects.

This subseries also contains significant correspondence with the individuals who advised both the senior and younger McIlhenny in a number of their acquisitions. As made evident in his detailed accounts of money spent, Wilhelm R. Valentiner not only advised the elder McIlhenny, but also acted as his agent. Henry McIlhenny relied on the advice of Persian art expert Arthur Upham Pope and the dealer Paul Rosenberg, and with both he apparently developed friendships. For example, in addition to his dealings with McIlhenny and his mother over purchases of Persian ceramics and carpets, Pope on several occasions invited McIlhenny to join expeditions to India and to Persia, which led to a colorful exchange of letters. In particular was McIlhenny's decline, written in 1949, to go to Persia, noting not only his mistrust of chartered planes but also his fear of being captured by Russians during their march into the area. Through Paul Rosenberg, McIlhenny purchased works by the artists who made his collection one of the most celebrated, such as Cezanne, Gericault, and Picasso. He also assisted Rosenberg in securing a visa to the United States in 1940 and two years later, agreed to help save the dealer's art collection left behind in France "from falling into the hands of the Nazis." Also of note are the Parke-Bernet Galleries folders, which document three auctions of objects apparently held by McIlhenny's parents. The sales reports include the division of profits between McIlhenny and his sister, Bernice. Another auction documented is the one held in 1923 to which John D. McIlhenny consigned several of his Old Masters. As reported by Ehrich Galleries, the sale was a "real disaster," resulting in a $185.00 loss.

Alphabetical by subject.

Scope and Content Note

Although McIlhenny maintained most of the papers pertaining to his art collection and other acquisitions by the name of the relevant individual or institution, he also kept a portion filed by relevant topic. Thus "Subjects" represents yet another way McIlhenny intellectually divided material similar in format and content to the other subseries described above. Most of the "Subject" files document what could only be considered a family tradition of lending their valued paintings, sculpture and decorative art objects to a number of institutions across the country and overseas. While most of the "Loans" pertain to exhibits dating between the 1950s and 1970s, there are several from the 1930s and 1980s. The earliest documented is the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts' 1917 exhibition devoted exclusively to the paintings of John D. McIlhenny. Of course the family's long-standing ties with the Philadelphia Museum of Art is reflected in the amount of "Loans" files identified with that institution. In addition to long-term and special exhibition loans, the museum also served as a summer storage repository for many of Henry McIlhenny's paintings. Exhibitions devoted solely to his collection also are documented here, including those held at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor (San Francisco, 1962), the Allentown (Pennsylvania) Art Museum (1977), the High Museum of Art (Atlanta, 1984) and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston of 1986. Although McIlhenny took part in planning the Boston show, it ran posthumously. "Visitors requests" comprise the next largest portion of files. McIlhenny consented to most of the requests, which came from students, a variety of clubs and schools, and several dignitaries. On occasion, he had to refuse due to his traveling schedule or to the fact that stiletto heels were ruining his carpets. "Gifts," "Loans refused," and "Reproduction requests," which consisted of requests for photographs of objects and requests to reproduce such photographs, are other original designations.

The other subject headings were assigned during processing in an attempt to give more clarity to the content of the material. The "Miscellaneous" designation was maintained with the papers regarding some purchases made by McIlhenny's parents. Although unclear at this time, perhaps that designation somehow relates to items intended for disposition.

Henry P. McIlhenny Papers / V. Art collection / E. Photographs and publications / f. Christie, Manson & Woods International Inc. "Property from the collection of Henry P. McIlhenny Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia."

Scope and Content Note

Most of the photographs pertain to objects in the collections of McIlhenny and his parents, including items passed down from parent to child. (The "Mrs. W." noted on the verso of a few prints may refer to works owned or considered by McIlhenny's sister). A few paintings appear to have been filed for reference purposes only, and it is not certain if all the decorative art objects were purchased or only offered for purchase. Also included are a few postcards, a clipping and an unidentified proof.

Like the series itself, this subseries reflects a dual arrangement as well as a dual purpose. The first group of files, comprising almost one-half of the photographs, documents objects identified by artist. Most are paintings, particularly those acquired by the younger McIlhenny. The remaining half of files is arranged by genre, and many of the objects represented seem to be those acquired by the senior McIlhenny and his wife. The genre arrangement stems from the labeling of several original envelopes. Paintings were further subdivided by their own genre, such as "portraits" and "scenic." Because almost all the paintings were unidentified, artist and title were assigned where possible during processing. Folder titles with genre designations set in quotes pertain to original identifications. The grouping and identification of the remaining photographs were assigned during processing. In both subgroups, folder titles also make reference to objects that were readily identified as gifts to the Philadelphia Museum of Art or as objects offered at the 1987 Christie's auction of the contents of McIlhenny's Rittenhouse Square residence.

In both subgroups, there are multiple prints of many of the paintings, which no doubt was done to accommodate the frequent reproduction requests the McIlhennys received. The "silver" and "rug" files, however, appear to have been made for more specific, albeit unidentified, exhibition or auction catalogs. Not only are there no multiple images of each object, but the items also are identified in greater detail. Furthermore, at least a few of the silverware items photographed are the same listed in the inventory drawn from John D. McIlhenny's original records, which is filed in the "Subject" subseries. The inventory values are no doubt the purchase prices, while the higher dollar amounts noted on the photographs probably reflect insurance values or auction estimates. (Compare, for example, the fifth silverware inventory entry--a pair of candlesticks made in London, 1733--and the related photograph, in which this candlestick is pictured with two other styles.) Several of the photographs of "Chairs, sofas, and benches" appear to be the same images published in the January 1944 bulletin published by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and devoted to the bequests of McIlhenny's parents.

Publications consist of several catalogs devoted to McIlhenny's collection as a special exhibition, as well as the catalog to Christie's 1987 auction pertaining to his estate. There is also one scholarly article published in 1972 regarding a work by Degas that McIlhenny owned at the time. Writings intended for a more general audience regarding his collection and lifestyle are part of the "Articles and interviews" series.

Scope and Content Note

This series documents where McIlhenny made his home and the measures he took to make each residence suitable to his tastes. Correspondence, invoices and receipts make up the bulk of the material, documenting approximately half a century of fine living, along with photographs, drawings, fabric swatches and ephemera. The "Philadelphia" subseries pertains to several addresses in the metropolitan area, including the family homestead in Germantown, McIlhenny's later home in Center City and his sister's homes in Chestnut Hill and later in Villanova. Apparently any and all residential expenses for McIlhenny and his family were paid from accounts he maintained as head of the family after his father's death, which could account for documentation of his and of his sister's homes. The second subseries, "Glenveagh," pertains primarily to McIlhenny's country getaway in the northwest of Ireland, which was nothing less than a secluded castle and garden surrounded by 24,000 acres of fields, forests, lakes and streams. A small portion of the Glenveagh material pertains to Dunlewy, another estate in the area, which McIlhenny owned apparently as a rental property for approximately ten years. The third subseries, "Gardening and related topics" reflects a passion shared by the McIlhenny family, and documents horticultural ventures from the mundane, such as lawn service, to the more innovative, such as shipping blueberry plants to cultivate in Ireland. Material consists of a variety of papers, drawings and supplier catalogs pertaining to each of the Philadelphia area gardens, as well as for Glenveagh. A few items pertain to Bonnie Wintersteen's home in Maine, which seems to have been another family retreat.

While this series contains some documentation of how McIlhenny furnished his homes, the "Art collection" series should also be consulted since McIlhenny incorporated his collection of fine and decorative arts into his style of daily life. Most of the magazine articles in the "Articles, interviews and lectures" series also pertain to McIlhenny's homes, accompanied with interior and garden illustrations. There is also a piece written by McIlhenny about the Glenveagh gardens.

Scope and Content Note

Topically arranged, this material reflects issues familiar to any homeowner and to those that families such as McIlhenny's could easily afford. While most of the material pertains to McIlhenny's 35-room townhouse on Rittenhouse Square in center city Philadelphia, other family residences are also documented. The family estate, known as Parkgate, was in the Germantown section of the city on the corner of Wayne Avenue and Johnson Street, and showcased the art collection acquired by McIlhenny's father. Several of the "home maintenance and repairs" files that include papers from the 1940s pertain to work done at Parkgate. Of particular note are the window repairs that involved the installation of stained glass in casement windows. The studio of Nicola D'Ascenzo, who also served as an adviser of stained glass to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, did the work. References to Bonnie Wintersteen's homes at 8440 St. Martins Lane in the Chestnut Hill area and in Villanova are also included in the "home maintenance and repairs" files. McIlhenny and his sister sold Parkgate in 1951 to Frederick R. Mann, the City Recreation Commissioner. A public elementary school now occupies the 6340 Wayne Avenue site.

Upon selling the family home, McIlhenny purchased the first of three buildings at 19th Street on Rittenhouse Square, some of which extended back to Manning Street. McIlhenny purchased 1914 Rittenhouse Square in the fall of 1950 and five years later bought building number 1916. In 1972 he purchased number 1912. While the purchase of each building is documented here, most of the material pertains to the renovations McIlhenny made to each, which included the demolition and rebuilding of 1916. Philadelphia architect and personal friend George Roberts oversaw the renovations performed by builders J.S. Cornell & Son. Correspondence documents Roberts's input, while itemized estimates and invoices primarily detail the work of the latter. Estimated at $87,000, the renovations made in 1951 and 1952 to number 1914 alone came to more than $100,000 and included installing a garden fountain in addition to other outdoor work. Also documented in detail is the interior decorating McIlhenny commissioned in the early 1970s. While the Philadelphia firm of George Doan Inc. handled many of the staff offices and living quarters, Denning & Fourcade of New York City, appear to have furnished McIlhenny's private rooms as well as those used by his guests, including the ballroom. Catering to McIlhenny's tastes, both firms made use of antique furniture and decorative pieces, as well as custom-made items, including fabric wall coverings and draperies. Specific commissions of the New York firm include designing two mirror frames based on illustrations from the "Palaces of Leningrad" and purchasing an antique, cane-back chaise percee to be fitted over the modern lavatory. Documentation of McIlhenny's staff, although limited, also suggests his style of living. For example, in the papers regarding his request to hire a non-U.S. resident, McIlhenny points out how almost impossible it is to find a chef or cook in Philadelphia, and that his chef at Glenveagh is most suitable for the job because he has been trained to prepare foods according to McIlhenny's "particular taste and service." The payroll records in the "Financial" series offer additional employee information.

Subject file titles were assigned during processing except for the "Home maintenance and repairs" folders. The folder subtitles within that set also represent original filing, except for the "utilities" folders, which were added during processing and consist of a sampling of invoices.

Scope and Content Note

Having summered there since 1933 when his mother and then he rented the castle, McIlhenny purchased Glenveagh in 1938 from the widow of Harvard art historian A. Kingsley Porter. According to documentation in this collection, McIlhenny purchased, for approximately $25,000, a 19th-century, 23-bedroom castle with some of its contents and other buildings situated on more than 25,000 acres of land in an area not far from the birthplace of his grandfather, John McIlhenny. When not in Ireland, McIlhenny stayed informed through constant correspondence with his agent in residence as well as with a local solicitor. Correspondence with most of the men who served as McIlhenny's agent begins the subseries. The bulk of these writings were generated by Julian Burkitt, who held the position from 1955 until 1980, at which time he also assumed the role of superintendent of the Glenveagh National Park. The latter position, which Burkitt held until 1985, came about from McIlhenny's gift of the castle and grounds to the Irish government.

Burkitt's letters with McIlhenny offer vivid and detailed accounts of a working country estate. Discussions of livestock and deer, comments on the weather and sketches of proposed construction, such as a machinery building and byre, are among Burkitt's topics, as are updates on the gardens, greenhouses, and various repair projects. His reports on the staff occasionally contain snippets of human drama, such as the young gardener's secret departure for Scotland with a girl, which left his family "much perturbed." Burkitt's correspondence with McIlhenny's Philadelphia secretary is also included and pertains primarily to paying employees and local businesses, giving an idea of the type of goods and services needed to maintain such a productive estate. In the years preceding Burkitt's tenure, J. Allan Osborne, solicitor of Osborne & Co., gives similarly detailed and descriptive accounts in his letters to McIlhenny. In these files of correspondence, which follow the agent folders, Osborne reports and advises on numerous issues, including McIlhenny's purchase of the estate, the hiring of staff and other workers, and the earliest renovations and repairs made to the castle as well as to other buildings on the grounds. From 1939 to 1946, Osborne's commentary is particularly significant since the war prohibited travel and McIlhenny's naval commission continued to keep him stateside. Moments of melodrama also appear in a few of Osborne's letters, beginning in the fall of 1940, that pertained to McIlhenny's first agent who was brought to court years earlier on charges of seduction. Because of counter-charges of harassment and ensuing he said/she said accusations, the matter continued to appear in Osborne's letters until as late as 1952, as well as in the correspondence of others, and in the local newspapers. Two types of statements generated by Osborne & Co. follow the firm's correspondence. Itemized cost and expense statements detail the services provided by the solicitors. The estate accounts record expenses incurred in the maintenance and operation of the estate and monies coming in to offset the costs.

Most of the remaining files are identified by the subjects documented, with material comprised primarily of correspondence and invoices. These subject titles were assigned during processing. Several items belonging to the previous owner are also included and made evident by folder title or pre-1938 date. The "Employee" and "Wages" files identify the household staff and are best supplemented by many of Burkitt's descriptive letters as well as some of the "Bookkeeping" records in the "Financial" series. Although material in the "Art collection" series documents most of the purchases McIlhenny made to furnish Glenveagh, the "Interior decoration" folders in this subseries also give an idea of the castle's furnishings, including orders for wallpaper, paints, window treatments and floorings, as well as a few articles of furniture and upholstery work. Most of the "Home maintenance" files deal with utilities and large applicances. The ephemera accompanying the kerosene refrigerator that McIlhenny bought in the U.S. for his castle vividly illustrates modern technology and design of the late 1930s. Several of the drawings included in the "Renovation" folders pertain to some of the other structures at Glenveagh. The old police barracks was remodeled for the estate agent's use for those months McIlhenny occupied the castle. Because of its location near a bridge, the barracks was also referred to as the "Bridge House." The cottage in the glen was redone for McIlhenny's sister and her children to use during their summer visits.

The "Property" folders primarily document the various transactions concerning the estate, beginning with the lease McIlhenny's mother took prior to her son's purchase. The next set of folders pertains to McIlhenny's purchase of Glenveagh, followed by documentation of his two-part "sale" and "transfer." Between 1974 and 1975, McIlhenny came to an agreement with the Commissioners of Public Works to sell most of his land to the Republic of Ireland for the creation of a national park. Then in 1979, McIlhenny made a gift of the castle and 15 surrounding acres, but retained the right to live there until 1982. (His last summer at Glenveagh was in 1983.) Several documents, as well as correspondence with various State officials and with McIlhenny's attorney, H. Ober Hess, pertain to these later transactions. A list of improvements gives a detailed description of buildings and other property features McIlhenny financed, while Sotheby's valuation of furniture, furnishings and works of art that were to remain in the castle suggest its furnishings when he lived there.

The "Photographs" folders attest to the spectacular views afforded by McIlhenny's 25,000-acre retreat, including the meticulously designed gardens and greenhouses. Several folders pertain to photographs used in magazine articles featuring Glenveagh. Casual outdoor shots of McIhenny are also included. Included in the "Other" files are papers related to the dance festival the former owner, Mrs. Porte,r held annually at Glenveagh. The final set of folders pertains to the Dunlewy property, which McIlhenny purchased in 1943. Although McIhenny paid for a staff and renovation work, it does not appear that he ever stayed at Dunlewy before selling it in 1952.

Arrangement

Corporate and individual authors precede subject files. Both subgroups are alphabetically arranged. Files identified by corporation include location by state or country, noted in brackets.

Scope and Content Note

Most of the material, filed by corporate or individual name, consists of invoices and receipts from nurseries in the United States and Europe. Folder titles include business locations noted in brackets. Almost all invoices are itemized, detailing the types of flowers, plants, shrubs and trees used to landscape the various residences. Two landscape contractors particularly well documented include F.D. Moore & Sons and Upper Bank Nurseries. The former serviced Parkgate and Bernice Wintersteen's home at Chestnut Hil, and the latter worked primarily at Rittenhouse Square. Many folders also include correspondence, notes and catalogs. The folder of blueprint drawings designed by landscape architects Wheelright & Stevenson pertains to Parkgate. In regard to Glenveagh, McIlhenny's correspondence with James Russell in the "Sunningdale Nurseries" files offers significant documentation of the plantings and garden designs there. McIlhenny also consulted with noted garden designer and journalist Lanning Roper on seasonal plantings at Glenveagh. Although only a few of Roper's invoices exist in this subseries, some of his letters with McIlhenny in the "Correspondence" series highlight his expertise.

In addition to documenting the plantings and maintenance of the various gardens and grounds held by the family, McIlhenny's passion for flowers and for sharing his horticultural expertise with others also becomes evident. While stationed in Virginia, the young lieutenant patronized a few local florists, sending holiday corsages for several women in New York, Columbus and Norfolk. In other years to his overseas acquaintances, such as the Countess Bismark of Italy and the Marchioness of Londonderry, McIlhenny occasionally sent plantings of sweet corn, watermelon and cucumbers, buying from seed and gardening firms across the country. For almost thirty years, McIlhenny ordered regularly and frequently from several Philadelphia florists, spending as much as $500 some months to decorate his home. Some invoices make note of which flowers would adorn a particular room, while other invoices refer to grander arrangements no doubt for McIlhenny's dinner parties. Even the Savoy Steak Shoppe served as an outlet for fresh cut flowers. In remembering friends and family, McIlhenny preferred to say it with flowers as well, sending numerous arrangements through local florists, such as Pennock.

Most of the files identified by subject pertain to specific flower and plant types. The "Greenhouse" files pertain to the construction and later renovation of such a structure at Parkgate. Philadelphia architect Carl A. Ziegler oversaw the work, which in 1938 cost $3,800.

Scope and Content Note

This series documents McIlhenny's lifetime of service and philanthropy to numerous institutions in Philadelphia and in Ireland. Always committed to supporting local causes, and especially those related to his passions of art, music, gardening, and interior design, McIlhenny donated to these organizations and served on many of their boards and committees. This series consists of a variety of material, including correspondence, invoices and receipts, ephemera, and meeting minutes, the bulk of which relates to McIlhenny's affiliation with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia Orchestra Association, the Academy of Music and the Metropolitan Opera. Material pertaining to contributions made by McIlhenny's mother and by his sister is also included and processed separately.

Arrangement

Correspondence arranged chronologically, followed by alphabetical subjects.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries consists of correspondence with Museum personnel, memos, invoices and receipts, meeting minutes, and committee lists related to certain aspects of Henry McIlhenny's long-standing affiliation with the Philadelphia Museum of Art. As donor, curator, vice president, chairman of the Board, and member of multiple committees and boards, McIlhenny wore many hats at the Museum. Records generated from his 30-year tenure as a curator of decorative arts can be found in the Decorative Arts Department Records, and material related to his gifts to the PMA can be found in this collection throughout the "Art collection" series and in the "Estate administration" and "Tax files" subseries of the "Financial' series. Spanning five decades, this subseries documents McIlhenny's continuous efforts on behalf of the Museum in all other capacities. McIlhenny had a penchant and knack for fundraising, applying his skills to raise money for the Henry Clifford Fund and Capital Development Program. Evidence of soliciting can also be found in the "Cultivation and solicitation" and "Centennial Gifts Committee" files.

This subseries also contains material generated by McIlhenny's mother and by his sister. Of note is the material related to Frances P. McIlhenny's funding of early painting exhibitions organized by her son.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries contains correspondence, memos, ephemera, and meeting minutes, among other material, that describe McIlhenny's 55-year relationship with the Philadelphia Orchestra Association. The earliest record of membership is from 1937. Two years later McIlhenny was elected member of the Board of Directors, and the following year Vice Chairman. He also served as Chairman of the Artistic Policy Committee from 1967, a committee designed to make decisions about artists and programming, and was instrumental in organizing student concerts. McIlhenny also dedicated his time to fundraising, working on fund drives, marathons and the membership campaign. McIlhenny remained a contributor throughout his life.

General correspondence followed by alphabetical subject files.

Scope and Content Note

Although the Academy of Music was the home of the Philadelphia Orchestra and the latter was named the Academy's "parent corporation," the administration of the two organizations remained separate. This subseries contains files related to McIlhenny's work with the Academy of Music. Documentation includes various materials related to concert programming, fundraising and building upkeep. Appointed Director of the Academy in 1958, McIlhenny also served on various committees and the Board of Trustees.

Despite a 1958 letter indicating a consolidation of the Board of Directors of the Academy of Music and the Philadelphia Opera Association and organizational chart revised in 1971 to include the Philadelphia Orchestra Association as the Academy's "parent corporation," the administration of these organizations remained distinct.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries pertains to McIlhenny's association with numerous institutions in Philadelphia and in Ireland, and spans more than half a century of monetary support, memberships, and various levels of personal involvement. Material consists of correspondence, invoices and receipts, and ephemera. Because of the tax deductions associated with many of McIlhenny's contributions, a significant amount of related material can be found in the "Tax files" subseries of the "Financial records" series. This subseries also includes material generated by McIlhenny's sister and by his mother, and corresponding files are titled as such.

Scope and Content Note

This series touches on other aspects of McIlhenny's life and lifestyle. In particular are his flair for entertaining and his passion for globetrotting, each of which is documented, respectively, in the "Social events" and "Travel" subseries. Comprised of correspondence, invoices, numerous lists and notes, and frequently revised itineraries, each subseries underscores McIlhenny's attention to detail and adherence to doing everything in grand style. The third subseries, "Various," consists of an assortment of documentation, identified either by material type or subject. An example of the former is the set of folders identified as "Invoices." Selected during processing, these papers give a sampling of the types of goods and services McIlhenny purchased regularly, thus offering a snapshot of class economics and consumerism. The largest set of subject-related folders pertains to McIlhenny's military service during and after World War II. McIlhenny enlisted in the United States Naval Reserve. Most of the material consists of correspondence and directives issued from USNR offices and related departments.

Physical Description

4.5 linear feet

Arrangement

Chronological, with multiple event "Parties" folders preceding individual event folders. Folders identified by material type end the subseries.

Scope and Content Note

Most of this material pertains to the frequent luncheons, teas, and cocktail and dinner parties McIlhenny hosted in the vast ballroom of his Philadelphia townhouse. Usually these affairs were given for visiting diplomats, artists, museum directors, and other prominent professionals and socialites. Many were held in connection with special events occurring in Philadelphia at that time, such as an exhibition opening, lecture, annual association meeting or concert. The folders contain various materials created in the process of party planning, such as engraved invitations, guest lists, telegrams, menu and staffing notes, invoices, and individual guest replies. The bulk of material dates from the mid-1960s to early 1980s. The "Parties" folders document a number of events from a particular year, while most of the folders that follow pertain to individual events. Of note is the 1974 dinner McIlhenny co-hosted with the Walter Annenbergs in honor of Princess Margaret and her husband the Earl of Snowdon. Some of the party details documented include a proposal for floral decorations throughout the house, orchestral arrangements, and vintage wine and champagne selections with specific serving instructions. Unexpected in comparison is the grocery order including boxes of Ritz and Wheat Thins crackers and instant potatoes. Nonetheless, according to a letter from the Princess's equerry, the guests of honor were more than pleased, "and if the truth be told, the superb dinner was one of the highlights of [their] entire North American tour!" The celebration of McIlhenny's 70th birthday is the one event he did not host, and most of the material in that folder consists of thank-you telegrams. The last two folders entitled "Invitations" and "Memorabilia" also pertain to events to which McIlhenny was invited. The invitations date from the early 1980s and, therefore, can only be a sampling of the types of affairs McIlhenny was asked to attend. The memorabilia folder underscores McIlhenny's international social standing, and consists of a special pass to Westminster Abbey for the 1953 coronation rehearsal, an invitation to meet Queen Mary in 1939 at a reception held at the Victoria and Albert Museum, and a program from a 1979 dinner at a Philadelphia hotel in honor of the British Consul-General. The many times McIlhenny had individuals and groups to his house to view his collection and home are documented in the "Visitor requests" folders in the "Subject" subseries of the "Art collection" series.

Set of individual trip folders are chronological by travel dates. Remaining sets are alphabetical.

Scope and Content Note

Comprised primarily of correspondence and itineraries, this subseries documents 30 years of McIlhenny's worldwide travels, from Palm Beach to Bangkok, and often in the company of friends as well as members of his household staff. Approximate travel dates and destinations identify the first set of folders. Most readily apparent is that until 1985, McIlhenny spent his summers in Europe. From May through early October, he would divide his time between Glenveagh, his country estate in northern Ireland, and cities such as London, Venice, Rome and Madrid. By no later than 1967, McIlhenny also became a regular client to one of the health spas in Montecatini, Italy, where he'd take his annual cure. His earliest documented visit to a spa, however, was in 1957 when he stayed at Poggio Terme on the island of Elba. Almost every summer, McIlhenny also attended the music festival in Salzburg, Austria, as well as the Munich Opera Festival. Some of his European jaunts included two-week cruises on private yachts through the Greek Islands. Although his last summer in Europe was in 1984, McIlhenny's last time at Glenveagh was the previous year when he gifted the estate to the Irish government. The last two folders in this group pertain to trips McIlhenny was planning at the time of his death. The second set of folders pertains to the hotels, travel agencies and yacht rental companies McIlhenny used. The hotels represented here are the only ones documented through correspondence. Additional information can be found in the "Financial records" series, in the account books of the "Bookkeeping" subseries. Those records pertain to 1950 to 1972 expenses. The American Express invoices processed in the "Various" subseries of the "Other subject" series primarily reflect travel expenses, including hotel accommodations, from the fall of 1973 through the spring of 1986. The "Travel agent" folders consist of itineraries and invoices. It should be noted that this material documents trips in addition to those listed in the first set. The "Yacht rental" folders pertain to the summer Greek excursions. Material consists of correspondence, contracts, and photographs and drawings of the various boats for hire. The folders of the final set are identified by document type. Most are McIlhenny's passports, which illustrate over a thirty-year period the young to seasoned traveler.

Scope and Content Note

Various topics and document types make up this subseries, and the amount of documentation per title varies from a single to multiple folders. The set of "Invoice" folders, selected during processing, details purchases ranging from household products to custom-made suits and shoes, and thus suggest the cost of McIlhenny's lifestyle. [See the "Arrangement" note at the collection level for a detailed explanation of the processing protocol determined for invoices.] The invoices are subdivided into the general categories described here. Based on many of the "Clothing" invoices, McIlhenny preferred London's haberdashers. While Turnbull & Asser supplied most of his shirts and ties, Lesley and Roberts, as well as Hayward, custom-made his suits. For more than 20 years, McIlhenny purchased his footwear from Peal & Co. He also did business with several Irish tailors and retailers, ordering for himself and others, including suits and caps for his chauffeurs at Glenveagh. Although at least one of the "Textiles" invoices pertains to fabrics for the home, yards of a variety of tweeds were bought for clothing. The invoices filed as "Groceries" and "Toiletries" reflect some of the purchases needed to maintain two household staffs, as well as dinner guests and overnight visitors. The material also gives a glimpse of popular marketing and consumer preferences since most of the packaged goods are noted by specific brand name. In fact certain products, such as Tetley tea and Sweet'N Low sugar substitute were purchased regularly from a Philadelphia supermarket for shipment to Glenveagh. An unidentified "Italian coffee" was also often included. Most of the "Groceries" invoices, however, pertain to Irish entities and include butchers, and merchants of produce, seafood, and liquors. One of the more diverse vendors was McClafferty's, which billed itself as a general grocer, wine and spirits merchant, potato exporter and funeral undertaker. Other folders pertaining to activities at Glenveagh include purchases of deer as well as fishing equipment and rifles. The "Tuition" folders offer a sampling of the cost of Irish boarding schools. As part of his agent's compensation, McIlhenny paid for the schooling of Julian Burkitt's four children. Most of the "various" purchases and services McIlhenny charged to his American Express pertain to travel expenses. The Wanamaker charges were primarily for household items and linens.

Most of the "Military service" documentation consists of correspondence with the various offices and departments related to the United States Naval Reserve. McIlhenny applied for and received his commission as a Lieutenant, Junior Grade, in the Aviation Volunteer Special Class of the USNR in April 1942. He was released from active duty in January 1946 and received his honorable discharge in 1954 with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. A history of the USS Bunker Hill, the warship aboard which McIlhenny served while in the Pacific is included here. The other two folders of correspondence, dating from 1941 and 1942, are arranged alphabetically by correspondent and pertain primarily to McIlhenny's earlier attempts to join the Office of Coordinator of Information and Naval Intelligence. McIlhenny felt his familiarity and land ownership in Northern Ireland could be of particular use in the war effort. In a February 1942 letter to the Office of the Vice President of the United States, McIlhenny notes that large homes, such as his Glenveagh castle, could serve as a hospital, and a local landowner, such as himself, could serve as an unofficial observer, which he was certain the Axis already had. According to a letter written several months later by his brother-in-law to a vice-admiral on the Inter-American Defense Board, McIlhenny was requested by the U.S. government to write a handbook for American servicemen going to Northern Ireland because he was so familiar with the area. A copy of the guide is included here. Despite McIlhenny's qualifications, Washington never took him up on his offer, and McIlhenny did not return to Ireland until after the war. Having the means to make the best of his situation, McIlhenny rented two furnished residences while stationed stateside. The lease agreements are included in the "Other papers" folder. In the summer of 1942, McIlhenny became an assistant engineering officer at Monogram Field, an auxiliary air station to the Norfolk Naval Base, located in Driver, Virginia. He rented a fully furnished house in Norfolk for a year, writing to his mother that he planned to divide his time between Monogram and "923" [Graydon Avenue]. In October 1944, McIlhenny received orders to report to the Bureau of Aeronautics in Washington, D.C. In January 1945, he rented a furnished duplex in the city and apparently remained there for a year, until his release from active duty. The lease not only covered the apartment, which included a drawing room, dining room, two bedrooms and two baths, but an adjoining facility, consisting of two servant's rooms and two baths. McIlhenny's letters to his mother and sister while in service are part of the "Correspondence" subseries of the "Family papers" series.

Other topics and document types include an early 19th-century volume published in Paris on the life of the French statesman and duke of Parma, Jean Jacques Regis de Cambacérès. According to related documentation, McIlhenny supposedly owned furniture belonging to the Frenchman, and this book was found in one of his pieces. McIlhenny's mother apparently made use of the diathermy apparatus, documented by a certificate of registration. Through electric current, this therapeutic device generated heat in order to increase blood circulation and was used in the treatment of conditions such as arthritis and bursitis.
