Mary Baker Eddy Calling Cards and Stationery The Art & Artifact Collection contains a number of stationery items, letterhead paper and envelopes; calling cards; business cards; invitations; and related products. These materials were either transferred from Mary Baker Eddy’s residence in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, or are in some way related to that residence. The bulk of this collection consists of Eddy’s personal stationery and calling cards, although there are also a number of cards that she received from other individuals.

The letterheads featured on Eddy’s stationery include those bearing the McNeil crest; some were printed correctly and some incorrectly (see The Mary Baker Eddy Collection, Outgoing Correspondence, F00707). Some letterheads contain the MBE monogram, while others identify her Pleasant View home in Concord, New Hampshire; Box G in Brookline, Massachusetts; or her Chestnut Hill residence.

Calling cards identify Eddy in various ways, including as Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy; Mrs. M.B.G. Eddy; and Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy. Some feature just her name, and some include an address dating to her time at 8 Broad Street in Lynn, Massachusetts, 385 Commonwealth Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts, and 571 Columbus Avenue, also in Boston. Some feature illustrations depicting flowers or doves. Business cards represent Eddy in her role as a teacher of Christian Science in Lynn and Boston, as well as President of the Massachusetts Metaphysical College.

Invitations in this collection include those for a March 20, 1888, class reception at 385 Commonwealth Avenue; for a series of lectures beginning February 10, 1882, in Washington, D.C. (see The Mary Baker Eddy Collection, Outgoing Correspondence, L02499); and for parlor lectures on Christian Science, featuring blank lines for place, time, and price information.

Additional calling cards and business cards represent a number of prominent Christian Scientists, including Stephen A. Chase; Alfred Farlow; James F. Gilman; and Laura E. Sargent. Others represent professionals who worked or interacted with Eddy, such as the journalist Lilian Whiting, lawyers, and tradesmen. A list of these can be found here.

Related paper products include three booklets (featuring poems, photographs, and pressed flowers), three small greeting cards, and four bookmarks, which came in with calling cards, business cards, invitations, and stationery in a box transferred from Chestnut Hill.

The materials in this collection represent the early growth of the Christian Science movement, her family and associates, and her residences. They reflect how she presented herself to others including in connection with her business dealings and prolific correspondence.

These materials reside in the Art & Artifacts directory in the Library’s database, searchable by the collection title “Mary Baker Eddy Calling Cards & Stationery Collection.” Additional stationery, calling cards, and business cards representing Eddy and other individuals can be found in the Subject File.
