Hello colleagues,
I'm looking for some suggestions for a
memorial gift for the museum library honoring a career man with the Nat'l Park
Service. We're thinking of perhaps something in architectural landscaping or
that somehow connects with the out-of-doors. American, to fit our collecting
focus. I came up with a list of books relative to Frederick Law Olmsted,
especially his papers, Central Park, and a few other items, such as Harold
Weston's Freedom in the Wilds; Recreation and Idleness: the Pacific Adventures
of John LaFarge; etc. BUT, the director gave my list back to me. The memorial
funds are in the neighborhood of $4,000.00. Yes!! So he's looking for something
more spectacular. Monumental, shall we say. It could be several items. This is
obviously an area that I don't usually give a second glance at--subject-wise or
price-wise. Any suggestions? Please contact me directly at [log in to unmask].
