Details | The Osborne Homestead Museum will be hosting a display of and presentation on its rare and unique books by docent Patricia Sweeney on Saturday July 23, 2022, at 1:00 p.m. Registration is required. A “rare” treat indeed for all book lovers, librarians, browsers, or anyone interested in such special antiques. Guests will view some beautifully illustrated volumes of Japanese art prints that Frances Osborne Kellogg collected, as well as unusual books of note, such as one on Jacobean embroidery. She met many famous and influential people in her lifetime of 80 years, including celebrities appearing before the Woman’s Club of Ansonia, Derby, and Shelton. Several noted authors personally inscribed books for her and these will be shown. Also, among the volumes on display will be several volumes by her uncle, Henry E. Krehbiel of New York City, a celebrated music critic and author. This rare book collection has never been shared with the public before, so do not miss this opportunity. This is a free event. To register please call 203 – 734-2513.
