Scope and Content Note

From the Collection:

The Blanche Grambs Papers span the period 1953-2004, with the bulk from 1960-1990. They comprise 0.4 cubic feet of material in one manuscript box. The collection consists of one series, arranged alphabetically by folder title. The collection includes personal correspondence, including drafts of letters, as well as publicity and reviews of Grambs Miller book illustrations. Also included are notes, professional correspondence with publishers and galleries, recipes, and travel memorabilia. Within the correspondence folders, personal correspondence is arranged in the artist's original order, while professional correspondence related to her work as an illustrator is arranged by date.

Correspondence with Winifred Milius Lubell is among the letters of the collection. Special Collections and University Archives, Rutgers University Libraries has prints and papers of Winifred Milius Lubell (see Related Collections).

An article by James Wechsler on Blanche Grambs depression era prints is also in the collection. One folder originally contained a large number of images of owls, of which a representative sample was retained.
