Frances Arnold diary, 1908
Scope and Contents
Frances Arnold was a minor member of the Cornish Colony in Cornish, NH where she summered in the early 1900s. This is her diary from 1908 and chronicles her 3 1/2 month Grand Tour of southern Europe, Egypt, and the Middle East where she made daily notes. One of her companions was Louis Comfort Tiffany, famous glass-maker and founder of Tiffany Studios. In the summer she was at Cornish and schmoozed with August St. Gaudens, Fred Maxfield Parrish, Stephen Parrish, Winston Churchill, and others. The diary ends in early August. In the back there is what appears to be a laundry list plus a listing of over 350 photographs she took. Newspaper clippings with photographs of famous archaeological sites.
