Overview and metadata sections
Clara Waters was an art historian and world traveler. Among her numerous publications are Artists of the Nineteenth Century and their Works: A Handbook Containing Two Thousand and Fifty Biographical Sketches (co-authored with Laurence Hutton, 1879), Rome, the Eternal City: Its Religions, Monuments, Literature, and Art (1896), and Women in the Fine Arts, from the Seventh Century B.C. to the Twentieth Century (1904).
The collection consists primarily of manuscripts of Waters but also includes a scrapbook of clippings about her literary publications, related correspondence, a 10"x12" photograph of the author, and selections of newspapers (1870-1932). Manuscripts include substantial sections of entries for her A Handbook of Legendary and Mythological Art (New York, 1871) and "A Medley of Thoughts about Women" (AMsS, 154 pp., dated 1869).
Gift of John T. Wainwright (AM 2002-99).
