Sarah Rapalje's chair


Here's a little treat for all Rapalje descendants--the much-talked about but rarely seen chair. It is in the warehouse of the Museum of the City of New York, and I just photographed it for my project. In living color!

  2. I'm looking for the names of the children in the 1768 Durand painting. Would someone please provide them?

  4. Is there any way to look at the chair? Mary - how did you get permission to photograph it?
