Photographs, 1860-1974
|
|
Photographs in the collection, most of which date between 1911 and 1974, depict
Suesse alone and with others in both candid and professional settings. These
include a substantial number of rare photographs from her early childhood, as well
as professional photographs of her as a young dancer and pianist. Additional
headshots and portraits document her life as a performer and composer through the
1970s, including her performance at Carnegie Hall in 1974. Other photographs
depict Suesse with prominent musical and literary figures, including Polly Adler,
Virginia Faulkner, George Gershwin, Ferde Grofé, Edward Heyman, and Paul Whiteman.
Notable family photographs include headshots of Nina Quarrier, a portrait of
Elizabeth and Samuel B. Chilton dating from around 1860, and a tintype of Dana
Ward Quarrier. This series also includes several sketches of Suesse. |

This series mainly consists of scans of collection materials made by the donor,
Peter Mintun. The majority are music materials, but also included are some
photographs, clippings, and project files. |
|
Principal file formats: .jpg, .pdf, .png, .psd |
|
The music is loosely organized into folders by type of score (i.e. manuscript,
published, arrangements, unidentified), then by title within each folder.
Non-music materials are all contained in one folder, with a small amount grouped
together by subject therein. |
