A long-time donor to Stuhr Museum recently wanted to donate some Mourning Pictures to our collection. Unfortunately they fall way outside our mission and I had to turn them down. She is very interested in finding a “proper museum home” for them and asked me to help her track one down. There are five Mourning Pictures altogether and they are framed and in excellent condition. It is believed that they were originally created in Maine pre-1850. If you are interested in learning more about the pictures or think you might want to add them to your collection, I can pass your name on to the donor. If you aren’t interested yourself, but know of a museum that would be an appropriate “home,” please let me know. Thanks!
