Nora Rosengarten, the Judith M. Lenett Memorial Fellow, Williams College MA Class of 2019, discusses the subject of her yearlong conservation fellowship at the Williamstown Art Conservation Center: two early-nineteenth century globes produced by Josiah Loring in Boston, Massachusetts from the collection of Williams’s Chapin Library. Among the first made in America, Loring’s globes offer insight into nineteenth-century conceptions of empire, outer space, and travel, while commanding aesthetic fascination. Rosengarten presents her research and articulates the conservation plan she undertook. A reception follows the talk.
