Processing Information Collection fully processed in 2012 by Lara Michels. Biographical Information John Herbert Evelyn Partington (1843-1899) was a painter in the Manchester School of Painters, which was founded in 1870 by artists in Manchester, England who were disgruntled with the traditional Victorian art education they were receiving at the Manchester Art School. Partington and his fellow painters were interested in painting and drawing from life and were strongly influenced by French painting, especially the Pont-Aven School. J.H.E. Partington opened the Stockport Art School, modeled on the Academie Julian in Paris, in the late 1880s. In 1865, J.H.E. Partington married Sarah Ann Mottershead. They lived in Stockport and, for a time in the 1880s, on the Isle of Man. John and Sarah had seven children: Blanche, Richard Langtry, Edward, Gertrude, Jack (John) Allan, Phyllis, and Kate. In 1890, Partington moved his family to Oakland, California, where they mingled with local artists and writers, including Ambrose Bierce, Jack London, George and Carrie Sterling, and Joaquin Miller. J.H.E. Partington established himself as a local portrait painter and painted portraits of both Bierce and Miller. In 1895, J.H.E. Partington and his son Richard Langtry Partington founded the Partington School of Illustration on Pine Street in San Francisco. Daughter Gertrude taught classes in the school. Many of the Partington children went on to have successful careers in the arts. Blanche Partington (1866-1951) was a music and drama critic for The Call newspaper in San Francisco. She was the friend and confidante of many literary figures including Ambrose Bierce, Jack London, Joaquin Miller, and George Sterling. She was also a noted Christian Science practitioner in San Francisco. Richard Langtry Partington (1868-1929) taught at the San Francisco School of Illustration and did some newspaper illustration until 1906, when the school was destroyed in the San Francisco earthquake and fire. Richard then moved back to Oakland, where he served as curator of the Piedmont Art Gallery. In 1916, he moved to Philadelphia and became a much-respected portrait painter of Philadelphia society. Gertrude Partington Albright (1874-1959) was a painter and etcher who studied with her father as well as in Europe (between 1900 and 1912). She was a well-known local painter and one of the only woman magazine and newspaper

illustrators on the west coast. Gertrude married artist Herman Oliver Albright (1875-1944) in 1917. Albright's first wife, Kate Peterson, died in 1907. Hedwig Evelyn Albright was Gertrude's and Herman's only child. Phyllis Partington (1883-1933) was an opera singer whose career started in 1912-1913 on a road tour of Gypsy Love, a Broadway adaptation of Franz Lehar's Zigeunerliehe. In 1913, Phyllis went to Europe to study under Salvatore Cottone and Jose Mardones. While in Europe, she adopted the stage name Frances Peralta. Upon returning to the United States in 1915, Peralta sang soprano roles with Opera companies in Boston, Saint Louis, Chicago, and Memphis. In 1920, Peralta joined the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, where she remained until 1930. Her most famous role was Dorabella in the U.S. premiere of Cosi fan Tutte in 1922. Phyllis Partington died in 1933 in New York City. Jack (John) A. Partington, Sr. (1889-1944) built a career as an operations manager for theaters such as San Francisco's Imperial Theater and New York's Paramount. Scope and Content of Collection Correspondence and other papers of John Herbert Evelyn Partington and Sarah Partington and their children: Blanche Partington, Gertrude Partington Albright, Phyllis Partington, and, to a lesser extent, Jack (John) Partington, Sr., Richard Langtry Partington, Edward Partington, and Kate Partington. Correspondence is mostly between members of the Partington family, but the collection does include incoming correspondence from prominent California artists and writers. Particularly noteworthy in the correspondence are the following: J.H.E. Partington's letters to his wife, Sarah, from his painting excursions throughout Britain and Europe during the 1870s and 1880s; letters to the Partingtons, especially Blanche, from Ambrose Bierce, Jack and Charmian London, George and Carrie Sterling, Upton Sinclair, Joaquin Miller, and the family of Samuel Bancroft (Delaware textile industrialist and early collector of Pre-Raphaelite art); the letters Gertrude Partington sent to her family during her art studies in Paris and other European cities between 1900 and 1910; and the letters Phyllis Partington wrote from New York and other cities during her travels and performances with various opera companies between 1913 and 1930. Other materials in the collection include notes and notebooks, sketches and sketchbooks, scrapbooks, clippings, biographical files, and ephemera. These materials document, among other things, J.H.E. Partington's career as painter and director of art schools in Stockport, England and San Francisco, California; Blanche Partington's work as a Bay Area music critic and her relationships with prominent writers and artists; Gertrude Partington's work as a painter and newspaper illustrator; and Phyllis Partington's opera career under the stage name Frances Peralta.
