Born in Germany, Baumann was an internationally noted printer and artist who settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1918. He died in 1971.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, the Ann Baumann Trust donated a substantial collection of Gustave Baumann\u2019s documents and photographs to NMHM. The new gift, along with previously donated Baumann material, is now open to researchers by appointment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The newly available papers include Baumann\u2019s correspondence with his wide circle of friends, his annual hand-printed Christmas cards, letters between museum collections throughout the United States, photographs of Santa Fe, and the naturalization certificate he received upon becoming a United States citizen in 1904. Some of the materials were previously featured in\u00a0<em>In a Modern Rendering: The Color Woodcuts of Gustave Baumann: A Catalogue Raisonn\u00e9<\/em>\u00a0by Gala Chamberlain and Nancy E. Green, published by Rizzoli Electa. In addition to archival materials, the donation included more than 200 of Baumann\u2019s wood printing blocks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese materials provide detailed insights into Gustave Baumann\u2019s personal relationships and business practices. They are an important resource for anyone wanting to better understand Mr. Baumann and his times,\u201d said Billy G. Garrett, executive director of NMHM.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The work has been spearheaded by Alice Wehling, a contract archivist working with museum staff, who processed and organized the collection, and Madisyn Rostro, a project collections assistant who catalogued and photographed the wood print blocks. Funding for this work was provided by the Ann Baumann Trust.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nmhistorymuseum.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Baumann-marionettes-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3720\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.nmhistorymuseum.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Baumann-marionettes-1.jpg 640w, http:\/\/www.nmhistorymuseum.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Baumann-marionettes-1-300x253.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.nmhistorymuseum.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Baumann-marionettes-1-356x300.jpg 356w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"\/><figcaption>Baumann family marionettes, circa 1959<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Researchers, including art collectors and students of Southwestern history, can discover what\u2019s available by browsing new finding aids that describe the organization and content of the collection.
