Thomas and Eno Collection
In 1990, AAS purchased from Matthew Needle a
scrapbook that contained 226 prints and ephemera printed or
collected by
members of the Thomas and Eno firm, Henry A. Thomas and Henry
C. Eno. Thomas
was active as a commercial lithographer in New York City in the
1860s and
1870s; Eno was active for just a few years in the 1860s. The two
were in
partnership from 1862 to 1867.
The scrapbook, which the AAS conservation department dismantled
in 1991,
contained a few separately published prints that have been
catalogued
and shelved with the lithograph collection. Other ephemera are
shelved
in boxes in the graphic arts department. Included are labels for
cigar
boxes, proofs for covers designed for children's books, and much
miscellaneous
material. The collection is noteworthy for the range of material
preserved.
