Angelo family papers, 1762-1939, bulk 1762-1834 2.3 Linear Feet

Angelo, John Cecil Cortlandt, 1869-1957

The Angelo Family Papers contains letters, photographs, legal documents, and other papers related to the family of Domenico Angelo, who ran a fashionable fencing and riding academy in London from the 1750s to the 1780s. The materials were collected by a descendant, John Cecil Cortlandt Angelo, who had arranged them in a small annotated notebook along with letters he received from two of his Van Cortlandt cousins in America, and others interested in his Angelo ancestors. Among the eighteenth-century letters are those from Domenico Angelo's colleagues Richard Brinsley Sheridan, his wife Elizabeth Anne Sheridan, and his father Thomas Sheridan; William Douglas, the Duke of Queensberry and his wife Catherine Hyde Douglas; and Domenico Angelo's son Henry Angelo, daughter Anne Caroline Angelo St. Leger, and nephew Anthony Angelo Tremamondo. The letters are largely social in content but do discuss family matters as well as government events in Calcutta and Paris.

Lewis, W. S. (Wilmarth Sheldon), 1895-1979
The Annie Burr Lewis and Wilmarth Sheldon Lewis Photograph Collection consists of prints, negatives, transparencies, slides, and tintypes that provide visual documentation of the lives, family, friends, and activities of Wilmarth and Annie Burr Lewis. The images range from formal portraits by noted artists such Arnold Genthe and Yousuf Karsh, to hundreds of snapshots taken by friends and family, and by Annie Lewis herself. The material spans a full century in date, from a group of tintypes to photographs of family members through snapshots taken of Wilmarth Lewis before his death in 1979, but most of the images date from the first half of the twentieth century and cover the couple's childhoods through the death of Annie Lewis in 1959.
