Thank you Gail. It is truly a labor of love for all of us at the Gallery.
We learn so much as we work. I am working on an 1861 article about color
usage deals with fashions in paintings. Some eye-opening stuff for the time
period. I have a page and a half to type yet.
I am surprised how good the eBay dealers are with working with me. Once
they see the purpose of the Library, they are very willing to come down on
prices and pull their auctions. These dealers in the U.S., England, and
France watching out for specific topics for me. Most of these dealers
purchase from estate sales.
We do have some people who loan their collections to be put in the Library.
A member from h-costume has been very gracious to loan some of her
collection. In exchange, she receives a free lifetime Library subscription.
