Yesterday, I visited the Metropolitan Museum with some old friends. I had always hoped the Met gift shop would carry Harriet Hosmer: A Cultural Biography, as the museum collections include Hosmer’s Daphne and one of her Clasped Hands of Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. The store even sells a replica of the Brownings’ hands. I was thrilled when I did find in on the shelves; it was the first time I have physically seen the book for sale somewhere. Below is a picture of me, the book, and my young buddy Ben; Frida Kahlo looks a little skeptical of us all.
What a thrill!!! Welcome to the big time, Baby Kate!
