A celebration of the two-hundredth anniversary of the N-YHS, this issue features many unknown treasures from the Society’s collections, including the student drawings by architect William Adams Delano, the Issachar Cozzens portfolio, the Ruth Draper papers, rare drawings by Robert Fulton, the photographs of Jeremiah Gurney, and the architectural collections of John Snook. The issue also includes essays about Clement Clarke Moore, the infamous portrait of Lord Cornbury, and the decision to collect 9/11 artifacts.
