A Lost Record Brought to Life, Dinner at the Salmagundi Club, 1908

By Lisa N. Peters, Spanierman Gallery Blog

Our recent show of the work of Charles Warren Eaton led us to notice an archival storage box on a high shelf in our library that was catalogued under the artist’s name at some point in the past and then forgotten. It contained what scholars always wish for: a number of primary source materials that had never received scrutiny. Among them was the ledger book in the artist’s hand, from which we made many discoveries—one reported on this blog earlier. We also found an eight-page booklet measuring 10 x 6-3/8 inches with the title: Testimonial Dinner given to Mr. A. T. Van Laer by his friends in the Salmagundi Club, over whom he has long presided.
