Emma Augusta Cross papers from the Cross family collection, 1868-1884
New Hampshire artist Emma Augusta Cross (1850-1933) was the second child of Joseph Cross (1818-1896) and Deborah Perry Wilder Cross (1818-1895), whose other two children, Joel Foster Cross (1846-1925) and Henry Clay Cross (1852-1913) also became artists. The Cross Family Collection includes Emma Cross' diary from the year she completed high school, a sketchbook from the following year, another sketchbook from the year she moved to Boston, and an account book from her first few years in Boston. The sketchbooks show Emma's pursuit of structured courses of study, the 1869 volume following the work of Massachusetts art educator William N. Bartholomew (1822-1907), and the 1884 volume reflecting anatomical theory of the day.
Online collection includes 569 images of documents.
