A Bibliography of C. H. Benjamin

Article: Les OEuvres de Charles Benjamin au Salon des Artistes Independents de new York, by Charles H. Benjamin

Correspondence/Notation from Comte Chabrier in regards to "The Works of Charles Benjamin at the Exhibition of the Independent Artists of New York"..."For an amateur, as he modestly styles himself, it is seen that the artist has made a rich collection. In my opinion, he possesses all the knowledge, experience, and qualities of a professional."

Possible photograph of C. H. Benjamin, along with notation
