OverviewIn the latest addition to Scala's popular Director's Choice series, Director Colin B. Bailey introduces the reader to a sampling of the treasured works in The Morgan Library & Museum's outstanding collection. A museum and independent research library located in the heart of New York City, the Morgan Library & Museum began as the personal library of financier, collector and cultural benefactor John Pierpont Morgan. As early as 1890 Morgan had begun to assemble a collection of illuminated, literary and historical manuscripts, early printed books and old master drawings and prints. Music manuscripts, modern and contemporary works on paper and photography have been added to the collection as it has grown through the years. This beautifully illustrated volume offers a lively introduction to Bailey's chosen works, providing unique and personal insights into the heart of this beloved collection.
