The Wilkie series was made from plates taken by Clews of a set of comic pictures made by Sir David Wilkie, an English artist of the early nineteenth century. They are very beautiful in color and decorative in design. Mrs. Sidney J. Corbett, Jr., advised with the Director both with reference to the color scheme of the room, and the selection of the exhibits, and the success of the ensemble is largely due to lier guidance. The arrangement of the dark furniture against a Colonial buff wall brings the exhibits into a singular harmony, characteristic of x the period. A case containing the pewter and silver, against a blue gray velvet background, forms the central feature of the room. This touch of blue, together with the more striking dark blue of the Staffordshire china, gives an additional note of color to the room. The Museum would like tó obtain by gift or loan, samplers, prints or other small objects of handicraft suitable for exhibition in this room. Any one in possession of material of the Colonial period who would be willing to donate or loan their possessions, will greatly assist the Museum's endeavor if they will call or write the director regarding such objects.
