From the(1978) handbook: “The Frick Collection was founded by Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919), the Pittsburgh coke and steel industrialist.

Thirty-eight additional have been purchased over the years by the Trustees from an endowment provided by the founder.
“Mr. Frick grew up in the vicinity of Pittsburg.

After initially concentrating on Salon pictures and works by the Barbizon school, he purchased his first old masters around the turn of the century. In the next decade he acquired many of the distinguished paintings that established the character of the Collection as it is seen today. ….”
