content: Artwork is by Theo Kitson, primarily in the form of sketches, including a childhood sketch of her home in Brookline, Massachusetts; sketches of animals; preliminary sketches, probably for monuments; and a card with a Quincy Women's Club seal. A 1935 rendering by an architectural firm is of a bas-relief designed by Henry Kitson. 

Artwork by others includes two caricatures of Henry Kitson by Hiram Jay; an etching by Robert Kitson, 1891; two pastels by T. (?) Walser of the Kitson home "Stonegate" (?); and various sketches of Japanese figures and costumes by Hiroshi Yoshida, and possibly another unidentified artist. Related letters from Yoshida can be found in Series 2: Correspondence. Artifacts include 4 steel dies for bas-reliefs, a printer's plate, labels for artwork, and a commemorative medal for the November 1906 dedication of the Iowa monument at Vicksburg National Military Park.
