Excerpt from Catalogue of the Paintings, Statuary, Casts, Bronzes, &C of the Corcoran Gallery of Art The corcoran gallery OF art, including ground, building, its con tents, and endowment fund, is the free gift of Mr. Wm. W. Corcoran to the public. In his own words to the Trustees to Whom the property was deeded May 10, 1869, it was designed for the encouragement of the Fine Arts; and in the deed the Object Of the institution is stated as the perpetual establishment and encouragement Of Painting, Sculp ture, and the Fine Arts generally, with the condition that it Should be Open to visitors without charge two days in the week, and on other days at moderate and reasonable charges, to be applied to the current expenses Of procuring, and keeping in order the building and its con tents. With these liberal purposes, the institution was chartered by act of Congress, May 24, 1870. By that act the building was declared exempt from all taxation, and authority given to settle the claim for rent during its occupancy by the Government. The building, planned by Mr. James Renwick, of New York, was begun in 1859. The civil war arrested the work, and early in 1861 the Government took it for the use Of the quartermaster-general's Depart ment, retaining it until four years after the close of the war. On the 10th of May, 1869, it was restored to its owner, who at once placed it in the hands of a board of nine Trustees, as already stated. After the Institution was incorporated by Congress, in 1870, the general work of reconstruction and adaptation of the building to its original purpose was begun, and after much delay and labor finished in 1871.

'Legacies of Ancient Greece in Contemporary Perspectives' provides readers with opportunities to reconnect with the origins of thought in an astonishingly wide variety of areas: politics, economics, art, spirituality, gender relations, medicine, literature, philosophy, music, and so on. As the chapters in the book show, Classical Greek thought still informs much of contemporary culture. There are countless books and articles that deal with ancient Greece historically, and a similar number that focus on Greece as a contemporary travel destination. There is both a lot of interest in Greece as a place now, and in Greece’s history and culture, which formed the early origins of much of Western civilisation. The distinctive attraction of 'Legacies of Ancient Greece in Contemporary Perspectives' is that it brings together, by means of fascinating examples, the two areas of interest: Greece’s past in relation to its, and our, present. In addition to the general interest factor, the book suggests questions for re-examination: the individual chapters provide abundant original research on their subjects, and in most cases offer critiques on the assumptions about, and the interpretations of, Greece’s ancient and contemporary cultural practices. These challenges themselves stimulate far-reaching thought and discussion, a feature highly attractive to readers (and students) wishing to develop a more in-depth understanding of the legacies of ancient Greece.

Outstanding Academic Title, Choice, 2015 Winner, Ewell Newman Award of the American Historical Print Collectors Society, 2016 In 1849 the Smithsonian purchased the Marsh Collection of European engravings. Not only the first collection of any kind to be acquired by the new Institution, it was also the first public print collection in the nation, and it presented an important symbol of cultural authority. The prints formed part of the library of Vermont Congressman George Perkins Marsh (1801-1882), a member of the Smithsonian’s Board of Regents. The uncertainty of the Smithsonian's mission in the early years complicated its motivation for purchasing the collection, especially given Marsh’s position as a Regent in financial difficulty. After a serious fire in 1865, portions of the collection were deposited at the Library of Congress and the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Efforts to reclaim it began in the 1880s, as a new generation of Smithsonian staff expanded the National Museum, but they achieved only mixed success. Through the story of the Marsh Collection, the book explores the cultural values attributed to prints in the 19th century, including their prominent role in expositions and their influence on visual culture at a time when collecting styles were moving from an individual’s private contemplation of artworks to wider public venues of exposition in museums and reception by multiple audiences. The history of this first Smithsonian collection enlivens an important stage in the development of American cultural identity and in the formation of the Smithsonian as a national institution.
