Autographs and Elitist Echoes From a Bygone Era
A collage of famous names and anecdotes spans autographs, portraits, and celebrity feints. Sitting Bull, Joaquin Miller, and Meiesoulier are linked to art and fame while Cooper Institute and Hayes lure attention with grand sums and distant travel. A Georgia anecdote ends with a melon theft turned comic misadventure.
