Guide to the Photograph Collection
Abstract
This collection consists of seven volumes of photographs, encompassing the years 1891-1901, taken and collected by Abigail Adams Homans and her mother, Frances Crowninshield Adams. Most of the photographs depict members of the Adams family, the Adams family home and grounds in Quincy, Mass., and family activities at the Glades Club in Scituate, Mass.
Biographical Sketch
Frances Crowninshield Adams was born in Boston on 15 October 1839 to George Caspar and Harriet Sears Crowninshield. She married John Quincy Adams (1833-1894) on 29 April 1861 and was the mother of his six children, including Abigail Adams Homans (1879-1974). She died on 16 May 1911.
Abigail Adams Homans was born on 6 September 1879 in Quincy, Mass. to John Quincy Adams (1833-1894) and Frances Crowninshield Adams (1839-1911). On 10 June 1907, she married Boston lawyer Robert Homans (1873-1934). Homans was the niece of Henry Adams (1838-1918), Brooks Adams (1848-1927), and Charles Francis Adams (1835-1915), and wrote a memoir detailing their influence on her early life, Education by Uncles (Houghton Mifflin, 1966). She died in February 1974.
Collection Description
The Adams-Homans family photographs contain seven bound albums, covering the years 1891-1901. The earliest three albums, covering 1891-1894, appear to have been taken and collected by Abigail Adams Homans. The later four albums, covering 1893-1901, were taken and collected by her mother, Frances Crowninshield Adams. All of the photographs were taken by Adams and Homans with an early Kodak snapshot camera, and the images mostly depict members of the Adams family and their circle. Many were taken at the summer resort that the Adams family frequented, the Glades Club in Scituate, Massachusetts, and show their subjects sailing, riding horses, or playing on the club grounds or shore.
Acquisition Information
The Adams-Homans family photographs were given to the Massachusetts Historical Society by Susan Homans Elias in July 2001.

C. Volume 3: Abigail Adams Homans album, July 1893-Sep. 1894
This volume contains 48 photographs, most taken by Abigail Adams Homans (unless otherwise noted). Homans' handwriting in the third volume shows a marked difference from its appearance in the earlier two volumes. Captions originally written as 1894 have been amended and appear to read either 1893 or 1899. Volume 4, collected by Frances Crowninshield Adams, contains some pictures seemingly taken of the same events and clearly dated 1894. Individuals pictured include Abigail Adams Homans, Louisa Catherine Adams Perkins, Frances Lovering Adams, Charles Francis Adams II, and other members of the Adams and Lovering families. Apart from a few pictures of individual sailboats, most photos are of friends and family sailing. There is also a series showing Homans and Louisa Catherine Adams Perkins riding horses.
