Tryon Park 99 Margaret Corbin Dr. New York, NY 10040 (212) 396-5365 [email protected] Collection Summary Title: The Cloisters Cross Research Papers Creators: Longland, Sabrina, Katherine Serrell Rorimer Dates: 1960-69; 1980-2000 Extent: 5 linear feet (11 boxes) Abstract: This collection relates to research conducted on “The Cloisters Cross” (Met Collection 63.12). Sabrina Longland was a Research Assistant with the Medieval Department of the Metropolitan Museum in the 1960s. Her papers (Series I) deal primarily with iconographic and historical research she conducted on behalf of Cloisters’ curator and later Met Director Thomas P. Hoving on The Cloisters Cross and related medieval pieces. Her papers involve Ms. Longland's research notes, photographs, reprints, published material, and correspondence. Series II, the papers of Katherine S. Rorimer relate to her investigations and writings to correct and refute inaccuracies found in Hoving’s 1981 book King of the Confessors, which recounts the acquisition of The Cloisters Cross by the Met (when Katherine Rorimer’s husband James was the museum Director). This series includes extensive research correspondence with Met and other museum professionals, and documents her attempts to publish numerous manuscripts on the topic, drafts of which are included in the collection. Administrative Information Provenance: The Longland papers would have been originally filed in the Medieval Department offices at the main building of the Metropolitan Museum. The date and circumstances of their transferal to The Cloisters archives is unknown. The Katherine Rorimer papers were retained by the Rorimer family in their New York apartment until 2018, when they were donated to the Met by Anne and Louis Rorimer for deposit in the Cloisters Library, through the efforts of Charles T. Little. Access: Open for research by appointment from The Cloisters Library and Archives staff. Location: The Cloisters Archives Room Form of Citation: Identification of item, date (if known), The Cloisters Cross Research Papers; box number; folder number; The Cloisters Library and Archives, The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Watsonline Record: http://library.metmuseum.org/record=b1771445~S1 Biographical Notes Sabrina Longland received a BA Honours Degree at the Courtauld in June 1962, where she studied under Professor George Zarnecki and Christopher Hohler. She worked as a research Assistant for Professor Sir Nikolaus Pevsner on his Buildings of England series and wrote the list of Medieval terms for the Penguin Dictionary of Architecture by Pevsner, Hugh Honour, and John Fleming. In 1963 she moved to New York and in May of the next year she was appointed as Special Research Assistant at the Cloisters, primarily to study the ivory Cloisters Cross. Katherine (Kay) Serrell Rorimer (1908-2000) attended Wellesley College, held a Masters Degree from the Institute of Fine Arts, NYU, and worked in the Library at The Metropolitan Museum for nine years. She was married to Cloisters and Met Director James Rorimer from 1942 until his death in 1966. She also worked as a researcher at the Index of Christian Art in Princeton and, at age 90, published her first novel, Leave It to Me.

Scope and Content Series I, papers of Sabrina Longland, predominantly center around scholarship she carried out on The Cloisters Cross in preparation for published works. Contents include notes, correspondence, study photos, and manuscripts. Series II, papers of Katherine Rorimer, consist primarily of research correspondence and multiple drafts of her manuscript addressing Thomas P. Hoving’s King of the Confessors. Shorter, published essays and talks on the object are also included. Of particular interest is the correspondence Kay Rorimer conducted for several years to refute many of the claims made by Hoving about the Cross, as well as stories about himself, James Rorimer, and other colleagues at the Met. Notable figures from outside the Met community are also addressed, such as art dealer Ante Topic Mimara and Cleveland Museum directors William Milliken and Sherman Lee.

  • Adventure Playground: Essentially, to a Place of Pleasure—That Today It Surrounds Us, Everywhere, Having Quietly John V
    The city’s onscreen prominence is so taken for granted today that it is hard to imagine that as late as 1965, the last year of Robert F. Wagner’s mayoralty, New York hardly appeared in films at all. That year, only two features were shot substantially in the city: The Pawnbroker, an early landmark in the career of veteran New York director Sidney Lumet, and A Thousand Clowns, directed by Fred Coe, which used extensive location work to “open up” a Broadway stage hit of a few years earlier by the playwright Herb Gardner. The big change came with Wagner’s successor, John V. Lindsay—who, soon after taking office in 1966, made New York the first city in history to encourage location filmmaking: establishing a simple, one-stop permit process through a newly created agency (now called the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting), creating a special unit of the Police Department to assist filmmakers, and ordering all city agencies and departments to cooperate with producers and directors (1). The founding of the Mayor’s Film Office—the first agency of its kind in the world—remains to this day one of the Lindsay administration’s signal achievements, an innovation in governance which has been replicated by agencies or commissions in almost every city and state in the Union, and scores of countries and provinces around the world. In New York, it helped to usher in a new industry, now generating over five billion dollars a year in economic activity and bringing work to more than 100,000 New Yorkers: renowned directors and stars, working actors and technicians, and tens of thousands of men and women employed by supporting businesses—from equipment rental houses, to scenery shops, to major studio complexes that now rival those of Southern California.

Crisis and excep- tionalism are two sides of the same coin, and they both shut down discussion about everyday economic and social structures. New York City had of course been in crisis before—Jacob Riis’s How the Other Half Lives was one of the most important texts from an earlier moment of financial inequality and urban renewal. Yet the Herald Tribune article makes its list of problems so exhaustive that it is difficult to see any reason for the continued belief in exceptionalism or any way to begin moving forward.

  • 18 ======Some History of Central Park
    ===================================================================== RNA House History Club Session Seventeen March 4, 2018 ===================================================================== Some History of Central Park The story of Central Park is complex and stretches from 1850 to the present, over 160 years. Leading up to the decision to create a grand public park in the 1850s was the growth and expansion of NYC. In the first half the 19th Century, New York City's population grew from ninety thousand to half a million. Most of the over 500,000 New Yorkers lived south of 30th Street. Lower Manhattan was lively and noisy with some densely packed poor districts. There were a few public spaces like City Hall Park and Battery Park and some gated parks for the wealthy, but there was not much green space within the central city. While most New Yorkers lived in lower Manhattan, by 1850, over 20,000 New Yorkers some wealthy, some poorer, had moved to the outer districts, what are now the UWS, Central Park, the UES and Harlem. These districts were comprised of scattered mansions and estates and small, distinct villages, existing independently of each other and some farms. Even though a State commission had laid out a street grid plan for NYC in 1811, due to irregular landholdings and natural obstructions the grid plan did not have much effect in the outer districts until later in the 19th Century. NYC owned some of the land. Large plots were owned by wealthy families and some small plots were individually own. The extension of trade lines, the expansion of craft production into sweatshop manufacturing, and the organization of banks and insurance and railroad companies had transformed the port of New York into a national shipping, industrial, and financial center.

Jay Price, Committee Chair Peer Moore-Jansen, Committee Member John Dreifort, Committee Member iii DEDICATION To my parents, Amy and Tony, to my best friend, Tiffany, to my uncle Joey, to Dr. Jay Price and all my family and friends, thank you so much iv ABSTRACT Since Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt, Western nations such as France, Britain, and the United States have displayed Egyptian antiquities as an exotic spectacle, creating the image of ancient Egypt that is known today. Orientalist attitudes shaped exhibitions and museum displays that portrayed ancient Egypt as a place of gilded, strange trinkets, while monuments such as obelisks were taken as trophies and mummies were treated as objects rather than human remains. Even the field of Egyptology emerged outside of Egypt from the creation of Western scholars who thought that they not only understood Egypt on a deeper level than the Egyptians themselves but also assumed that they could preserve the antiquities better.
