Would you like some wine? How about a hand instead?
Meet Linda August, Curator of Arts & Artifacts. Linda catalogs and takes care of a variety of objects from paintings of those who influenced LCP, to colonial furniture, to some of Ben Franklin’s inventions or a clipping of George Washington’s hair. You can sometimes find her winding up a Tall Case Clock c1673. Here, she holds one of the spookiest items in the collection, the Mummy’s Hand encased in a wine box, which was given to LCP by the historical painter, Benjamin West in 1767. Gives you that Halloween feeling doesn’t it?
