Résumé :

Personal letters from James Reid Lambdin sent from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Germantown, Pa., to his brother Samuel H. Lambdin in Natchez, Miss., contain news of family, friends, and business, as well as descriptions of his homes, gardens, and art studios. In several letters, Lambdin alludes to his paintings, including a portrait of Thomas Bisland in 1853 and a series of portraits of governors of Pennsylvania. In addition to referring to various commissions he received, Lambdin discusses his appointment in 1859 by President Buchanan as one of three art commissioners in Washington, D. C., responsible for approving all art to be placed in the United States Capitol. The other two artists appointed were New York landscape painter John Kensett and Washington sculptor Henry K. Brown. Lambdin's letter dated January 17, 1853 [sic], is written on the back of a circular dated January 1, 1854, from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts inviting owners of art works to exhibit them at the Thirty-First Annual Exhibition in April of that year. Lambdin was Director of the Academy and chairman of the exhibition at the time. The collection also includes a photograph circa 1880s of James Reid Lambdin.
