EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the library in Mr. John A. Dunbar's home on East 77th Street, New York, in 1931. The image showcases a beautifully curated collection of books neatly arranged on elegant bookshelves that line the walls from floor to ceiling. The shelves are adorned with various decorative objects, including a delicate statuette, adding an artistic touch to the space. The room exudes sophistication and refinement with its tasteful interior decor. Two comfortable chairs are strategically placed near a table, inviting visitors to indulge in hours of reading and contemplation amidst this literary haven. The lighting is soft yet sufficient, creating an ambiance conducive for intellectual pursuits. Located in Manhattan's prestigious Upper East Side neighborhood, this library reflects both the wealth and cultural aspirations of its owner during the early 20th century. It serves as a testament to Mr. Dunbar's passion for knowledge and his desire to surround himself with literature. Preserved by Byron Company through their silver gelatin print technique, this photograph offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when personal libraries were cherished spaces within homes - sanctuaries where one could escape into worlds created by words on paper. Displayed at the Museum of the City of New York today, this image stands as a reminder of our enduring fascination with books and their ability to transport us beyond our physical surroundings into realms limited only by our imagination.
