Joseph Cummings Chase (1878-1965) was an educator,
writer, portrait and sketch artist. He and his wife, Cora, moved to Milwaukee in
1954 where he spent the last years of his life continuing to work on his art. Many
of Chase's original works were auctioned at an estate sale to benefit the Red Cross
after his passing, while other works of his still reside at the Smithsonian
Institution. Chase was especially noted for his portraits of members of the U.S.
Armed Forces during World War I and World War II. This collection contains:
ephemera, correspondence, photographs, publications, scrapbooks, reproductions of
portraits, information on his exhibits, sketches, illustrations and
speeches.
