Series VIII: Printed Material and Miscellanea

Items in this series consist of printed material, ephemera, and objects belonging to Adelaide H.C. Frick. Among the printed material are catalogs, brochures, books, postcards, and newspaper clippings, including a large number of clippings regarding the death of Henry Clay Frick. Ephemera and objects consist of calling cards, dog licenses, games and playing cards, a travel clock, pressed flowers, and locks of hair from Mrs. Frick's children. Unlike the calling cards in Series VI: Stationery, which were largely unused, the cards in this series were mostly received from friends and relatives of the Fricks. According to documentation found with the cards, some accompanied wedding gifts received by Mr. and Mrs. Frick in 1881, while others were received from callers during the couple's honeymoon. Other items of note in this series include a series of silhouettes (some probably depicting Mrs. Frick) signed "Ross, 1919," an 1895 copy of the by-laws of the Twentieth Century Club, and a pair of season tickets to the Pittsburgh Orchestra's 1898-1899 season.
