Documenting a Career
Enid’s manuscript and photograph collections are housed at the Filson Historical Society in Louisville, Kentucky. One of the many personal artifacts in her collection is a scrapbook that Enid created that documents her career. Enid was an entrepreneur and developed a name for herself as a young sculptor. She carefully cut and pasted articles that documented her art along with items of personal interest.
A page from Enid's scrapbook shows a Courier-Journal article, "Miss Yandell's Work in Paris" (1896). The article also includes an image of a statuette of Miss Elsie Yandell, and an image of Enid at work in her Paris studio.
This page shows a Louisville Times article, "Miss Enid Yandell and her work." Enid received all this publicity before turning thirty years old.
A business card Enid created for a private viewing at her studio at 315 W. Broadway, Louisville, KY. She kept a copy of the card in her personal scrapbook.
