Commemorative publication to celebrate the New York institution's 50th anniversary, featuring addresses to the members of the board. Henry Watson Kent sent this copy to Eugene Meyer Jr., a prominent American financier and collector of Asian art; in 1916, the Metropolitan Museum of Art put on an exhibition of Meyer's and Charles Lang Freer's collection. Kent was a pioneer of the art of museum communication, and helped found the American Association of Museums. These two associations combine to form a snapshot of the philanthropic and logistical development of modern American museums. 11'' x 7.75''. Original blue wrappers. [8], 53, [3] pages.
