This episode of "The Colophon" features a great friend of the Press, Morrie Heckscher, Curator Emeritus of the American Wing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. While visiting the Press a few months back (which, during a pandemic, is starting to feel like a lifetime ago), Morrie sat down with us to discuss our latest collaborative project: Chippendale’s Drawings for The Director, which reproduces and publishes, for the first time, Thomas Chippendale’s original drawings for his 1754 volume, The Gentleman and Cabinetmaker’s Director.
