Description

Wedding Invitation for Edith Trumbull and Philip Burton Jennings

Overview

This item is a Victorian‑era wedding invitation card, created on 25 June 1891 by Mr. & Mrs. Daniel Robinson. The invitation was issued for the reception of their daughter, Edith Trumbull, and her husband, Philip Burton Jennings. It is held by the Alice Austen House Museum in Staten Island, New York, and is available in both a text file (typed transcription) and a scanned JPEG image of the original card.

Background

The Robinsons were prominent members of the Staten Island community in the late nineteenth century. The invitation reflects the social customs of the period, where formal, hand‑crafted cards were used to announce and invite guests to celebratory events. The Alice Austen House, now a museum, preserves a wide range of personal documents from the era, including photographs, letters, and social invitations such as this one.

Contents

  • Text file (TXT) – a typed transcription of the handwritten invitation, preserving the wording and layout.
  • Image file (JPEG) – a high‑resolution scan of the original card, showing the printed text, decorative borders, and the date, time, and address.
  • Metadata – includes creator names, creation date, language, subjects (Wedding, Invitation, Social Event, Victorian Era), and location (105 East 18th Street, New York, NY).

The invitation reads: > “Mr. & Mrs. Daniel Robinson request the pleasure of your company at the wedding reception of their daughter, Edith Trumbull, and Mr. Philip Burton Jennings, on Thursday, June the twenty‑fifth, from five until six o’clock. 105 East 18th Street.”

Scope

The collection covers a single social event – the reception for Edith Trumbull and Philip Burton Jennings – held on 25 June 1891 in New York City. It provides a primary source for researchers interested in Victorian wedding customs, local social history, and genealogical studies of the Robinson, Trumbull, and Jennings families. The item is limited to the invitation itself; no related photographs or additional correspondence are included in this specific folder.
