If you don’t like the selections, it is nullum tui negotii! -- About 1886 –”; an untitled collection of B/W reprints of drawings and photographs of exteriors and interiors of various buildings and paintings from magazines; an untitled collection of F.H.B. journals, letters and magazine reprints dating 1878–1938 plus miscellaneous photographs and drawings; and pencil drawings, rubbings and ground plans from the Agora, Delphi, Epidauros and Acropolis Museum, Athens Epigraphical Museum, Athens National Museum, National Museum Naples, Patissia Museum, Pireaus Museum and “Stamboul” Museum.

Bacon Got Away from the Dardanelles for the Long Dreamed of Visit to Athens" (May 6, 1938), a typescript of the "Log of the Dorian," a collection of several portrait photos taken by Francis H. Bacon in 1929, 1931, and 1938 (portraits include: Carl W. Blegen, Bert H. Hill, Konstantinos Kourouniotis and Panagiotis Aristophron, Vasileios Leonardos, David M. Robinson, and Adolf Wilhelm), and photocopies of news published by Bacon in various newsletters. There is also a second copy (photocopy) of his travelling journal “Assos Days 1881-1883,” as well as a geological map by J. S. Diller (1881) and a map representing Mr. J. H. Haynes’s route (kept separately in Flat Storage, drawer #15). Finally, the collection includes Bacon's portfolio of F.S.D. (Full-Scale-Detail) moldings and rubbings of relief decoration of funerary monuments, capitals, and friezes in Asia Minor, and Greece.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Francis H. Bacon (1856-1940) studied architecture and graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1876. He and Joseph T. Clarke excavated at Assos, near the Dardanelles, the first classical excavation of the newly founded Archaeological Institute of America. Bacon is one of the three co-authors of the excavations's final publication, Investigations at Assos (1921). After Assos, Bacon became an interior designer working for A.H. Davenport.

Bacon was one of the few architects who continued to produce F.S.D. (Full-Scale Detail) architectural drawings in the early 20th century. He and his wife Alice Calvert are buried in the Dardanelles.

The last nineteen pages are typed transcriptions of six letters from Captain Guy B. Pears, Royal Engineers, to F.H.B. They date 16 September 1914 to 29 September 1916 and describe in very interesting detail his World War I experiences in Egypt, in the trenches in France, recuperating from a wound in London hospital and return to the trenches.
The last page has a large photograph, which Pears refers to in his last letter: “Capt. Pears & Genl. Kitchener – At Woolwich Inspecting work of Cadets. Probably the last photo of Kitchener taken before his death! [See this photograph in envelope of photographs at back of Album X.]

Printed label inside front cover “The Property of Francis H. Bacon”.

F.H.B. description above and below printed label describes the contents: “This is My scrapbook not Yours! If you don’t like the selections, it is nullum tui negotii! -- About 1886 –”

“On looking over this Book, in 1926, I wonder why I put in some of these things. They don’t amuse me now. Francis H. Bacon”

Both sides of most pages are full of very neatly glued in newspaper clippings, cartoons, poetry, illustrations, memorblia. Some clippings have been torn out; some pages have loose clippings. Only a few clippings have source or date.

Book measuring 29 x 36 cm with fifty-six pages (fourteen pages are blank). Edges of pages are slightly yellowing. Since the clippings neatly fill each page with no space to spare, the assembly has nothing to do with date or subject and must have been assembled after all the clippings had been collected.

Cataloguer added penciled page numbers in right hand corner [12]. In back of album, see envelope with about 50 loose newspaper clippings.
