Scope and Contents
This collection contains materials that follow the artist and illustrator B. Stafford Good’s career as a student, illustrator, teacher, muralist, and landscape painter. Materials within this collection are dated between 1907 and 1980 and include both primary and secondary source material. A bulk of the collection contains secondary materials, such as two scrapbooks of newspaper clippings that follow the artist’s life and career, exhibition catalogues, and brochures. Materials that document the artist’s work and process are included as well, such as a list of illustrations planned for his unpublished book, “Adventures in Karki,” (based on his experience in World War I); a fabric binder inscribed by the artist’s wife Jeanne Good: “1970, To: Brandywine River Museum,” which contains artist notes; and an original water color painting.
The first folder contains additions made to the collection at an unknown period. Within this folder is a photocopy of a handwritten document by the artist’s wife Jeanne Good on Stafford Good’s life and career. The original note from Jeanne Good is stored within the curatorial files at the museum.
