Abstract

The article discusses the Archives's additional Abraham Rattner, Lincoln Rothschild and Henry Hitchings's papers provided by their widows. It mentions that Rattner's widow, Esther Gentle Rattner provided the papers wherein cross-country automobile trip with Henry Miller was the main focus which was described in the 1941 book of Miller entitled "The Air-Conditioned Nightmare." On the other hand, Elisabeth Rothschild donated the historically interesting documents of both men wherein different writer career aspects, editor, arts administrator, sculptor as well as the unpublished book "Painters of Democracy," and "The Pragmatist in Art" were the main concern of the materials. In addition, Henry Hitchings had produced several books on art instruction that were now offered at the Archives.
