Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Saint-Mémin Print Collection consists of 5 boxes of more than 250 prints by French engraver Charles Balthazar Julien Fevret de Saint-Mémin, as well as a few other pieces of ephemera housed in folders. The prints are moslty loose portraits along with two albums of portraits. Ephemera includes a brochure, card, and advertisements.

In 1862, Elias Dexter published The St.-Mémin Collection of Portraits, containing photographs of Saint-Mémin's American portraits and biographical sketches of the sitters. Although some sitters were misidentified in the volume, it has been used as a standard means for identification of the Saint-Mémin portraits. Dexter's numbers that he assigned to each portrait can be found as item identifiers in the container list (note: the numbers to do not correspond to a chronological or alphabetical listing).
