| Summary: |
Stanley and Weda Cook Addicks were native Pennsylvanians who lived in Philadelphia during the late 19th and early 20th century. Stanley, a pianist, and Weda, a singer, were both immortalized on canvas by artist Thomas Eakins. These two journals, typed with pasted-in photographs and postcards, describe the family's travels to New York and other parts of New England. The photographs and postcards tend to reflect items mentioned in the adjacent text. The lively and descriptive text is narrative, describing a journey in total, rather than a series of chronological entries. |
