Excerpt from The Inland Printer, Vol. 15: A Technical Journal Devoted to the Art of Printing; April to September, 1895

Mr. Drake is also an untiring collector, and his house contains much that is of great interest to art lovers. His collection of old hammered brass and copper comprises hundreds of pieces which have been brought from Russia, Spain, Africa, Holland and France. As a collection it is both interesting and beautiful, and as a mass of rich, glowing color it is almost indescribable. He has, too, a fine col lection of unsigned old masters, and antique rings.

Mr. Drake was one of the founders of the Grolier Club and of the Aldine Club, in both of which he has been a councilman from the begin ning, and he has been for years a member of the publication committee of the Grolier. He is also a member of the Century Association, The Players, and the Architectural League, of New York, and of the Cosmos Club, of Washington, D. C.
