From the Smithsonian Museums
Anne Evenhaugen is the head librarian at the Smithsonian American Art & Portrait Gallery Library.
Two years ago, we all got better acquainted with our domestic surroundings. “Journey Round My Room” was first written by Xavier de Maistre in the 18th century. A recently acquired 2007 edition includes photos and a specially crafted box by Ross Anderson. The end result is a beautiful artist's book that turns a quarantine into an exploration.
