>
> Congratulations to Alice Hudson and the exhibit she has curated at NY
> Public Library, called "In thy Map Securely Saile, Atlases, Charts and
> Globes From the Lawrence H. Slaughter Collection."  Last Friday, January
> 15th, it received an excellent review in the New York Times Art Section.
> The reviewer obviously understood and had an appreciation for rare maps.
> Besides giving a fine background of the gift and it's significance plus
> examples of items in the exhibit, she also had complimentary things to say
> about the results of Alice's research and writing.
>
> For those of you who missed the review, it is also on the New York Times
> Webpage.  You all probably will enjoy reading the review which seems to
> catch the flavor of the exhibit.  I really liked the beginning of the
> review; "When it comes to the fusion of visual beauty and useful
> information, is anything as glorious as a map?  Maps are essential to
> human survival......"
>
> I have heard of hometown newspapers reviewing local map exhibits but this
> is really impressive!
