Remarks

An arts critic and co-editor of The Seven Arts (1916–1917), Waldo Frank was the author of Our America (1919) and The Re-Discovery of America: An Introduction to a Philosophy of American Life (1929). He was also one of the editors of America & Alfred Stieglitz, a collection of essays published in 1934 to celebrate Stieglitz’s 70th birthday.

“I have some negatives (snaps) of you that promise amusing prints” (Stieglitz to Waldo Frank, 2 October 1920 [YCAL]). “The day you sailed from the other side I mailed you quite a long letter & included two postal cards of yourself in swimming last year” (Stieglitz to Waldo Frank, 17 October 1921 [YCAL]).
