Photograph album, [ca. 1924].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122555660

Consists of formal photographic portraits of public rooms and selected guest rooms in a hotel. Were purported to have been taken at the Knickerbocker Hotel in New York City. A close look, however, revealed views of N.C. Wyeth's well-known triptych mural "Half Moon in the Hudson" which was done for the Hotel Roosevelt's Hendrik Hudson Dining Room in 1924. Other N.C. Wyeth paintings also appear in the rooms shown in this album. They are illustrations done between 1919 and 1921 for the books "Last of the Mohicans," "Courtship of Miles Standish," and "Rip Van Winkle." The room furnishings range from a toy-filled children's playroom, to a colonial revival bedroom, to very elegant lobbies.
