The Repository of arts, literature, commerce, manufactures, fashions and politics, 1809-1815, 1810, Plate opp. p. 182, plate 15, Library reading chairs
Yesterday's post, featuring lovely summery damsels was also from this volume, The Repository of arts, literature, commerce, manufactures, fashions and politics, 1809-1815.
Looking through additional images from this collection on the Libraries' Galaxy of Images brought me to this great plate featuring library reading chairs.
Maybe the Smithsonian Libraries should consider some retro furntiture designs for their reading rooms . . .
