content: Biographical material consists of a copper plate engraving for Frieseke's calling card; his 1902 Parisian residence registration at  6, rue Victor Considerant; his 1939 French declaration of taxes form; and a customs declaration for a silver medal, a letter, and a check sent to Frieseke in Paris by the Corcoran Gallery of Art, presumably for the  Corcoran Silver Medal awarded to Frieseke for Girl at Piano exhibited at the Corcoran's 14th  Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary Oil Paintings in 1935. Genealogical notes are a list of probable descendants of Frieseke from 1871 to the 1990s, probably compiled and added to the collection by Miriam A. Kilmer, granddaughter of Frieseke, who included a note explaining the provenance of the material. 

Miscellany consists of two war ration books that belonged to Frieseke's wife and daughter.

Printed material includes an 1896 edition of Shakespeare's As You Like It signed by Frieseke, with a note from Miriam A. Kilmer authenticating the signature, and a list of items with which the book was auctioned; and an exhibition catalog for a 1982 retrospective at Maxwell Galleries Ltd.


Photographs are of Frieseke, his wife Sarah Anne and daughter Frances, father Herman, sister Edith, and other family members. They include professional portraits, cabinet cards and candid family photos.
