Series I: People

Series I: People, circa 1850s-1989 and undated, chiefly contains images of Frick family members, friends, and other acquaintances. The bulk of these images depict Henry Clay Frick and his wife Adelaide H.C. Frick, along with their children, Childs Frick, Helen Clay Frick, Martha Howard Frick, and Henry Clay Frick Jr. Extended family members represented in this series include Mr. and Mrs. Frick's parents, siblings, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, as well as nieces, nephews, and cousins. Members of the Childs, Overholt, Blanchard, Burden, and Symington families are among the extended family members documented here. This series also includes a wide range of friends and acquaintances of the Frick family, such as P.C. Knox and George Harvey, as well as members of the Carnegie, Frew, and Holmes families. This series occasionally includes historically prominent people (e.g. Mark Twain, or Queen Wilhelmina of The Netherlands), who are not known to have any acquaintance with the family.

Items in this series are arranged alphabetically by the subject's name, with unidentified images filed at the end. Cased images and oversize materials are housed separately; see references in the container list below.
