Abstract:

Papers primarily related to Theodore Lund (1810-1895), an artist, who studied art at the Royal Academy of Copenhagen from 1832 to 1834 and immigrated to America from Denmark around 1836. Lund worked as a painter in New York City before moving in 1846 to a farm in Racine County, Wisconsin, where his family lived while he painted in various cities in Europe and America. The papers consist mostly of the research notes and correspondence of two descendants of Theodore Lund--Maude Leone Fish and Judith Lund Chisholm, who wrote a history of the Lund Family. Included in the collection are several letters of Theodore Lund; copies of the Civil War records of his sons, Charles and Julius Lund; a diary by Charles; an annotated plat book of Racine County; and memorabilia.
