Charlotte Russell Partridge and Miriam Frink Papers

ThePartridge and Frink Papers (Milw Mss 167) are full of interesting photographs related to the Layton School of Art, the Layton Art Gallery, and Partridge and Frink’s own work. Included in the collection (box 75) are two particularly unique artifacts: a small metal object consisting of an interconnected “C” and “M” for Charlotte and Miriam and a scroll commemorating the birth of Frederick Layton, on this day in 1827, both pictured above. 

More information about Partridge and Frink can be found by searching the rest of our blog or by visiting the UWM Archives to see their papers in person. The Archives also holds the records for the Layton School of Art (Milw Mss 168) and the Charlotte Russell Partridge Collected Papers (Milw Mss ED) for further information on the history of art in Milwaukee.
