Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum in the New York Times

Congratulations to the Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum in Connecticut on the excellent coverage in The New York Times!

Long before Instagram filters and selfie sticks, Wallace Nutting turned the American decorative arts and home magazine industries on end by staging “pictures of women in Colonial-style dress engaging in activities like pouring tea, embroidering or trying on a bonnet [in restored and carefully decorated interior spaces]. He employed a team of colorists and sold more than a million watercolor-tinted photos.”
