Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Making of a Modern Museum In 1919 the Wednesday Afternoon Club asked my sister, Eleanor Garnier Hewitt, one of its members, to write a paper on "The Making of a Modern Museum," which they found so interesting that they paid her the unusual compliment of printing it privately for her fellow-members. As many others were desirous to read it, the Club kindly consented to the publication of a second edition, which is also exhausted. The demand for it still continues, so this third edition is now issued as a small tribute to the memory of my sister, who devoted all her talents and the greater part of her time to create and develop the Museum for the Arts of Decoration, which was inaugurated at Cooper Union in 1895 in honor of its Founder, Peter Cooper, in order to complete the work he originally planned.
