History in Photos
1986
July of 1986, during the celebration of the reopening of the Statue of Liberty, Congressman Frank Guarini of New Jersey and Speaker of the House Tip O’Neil accepted the Ellis Island trilogy of serigraphs on behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives.
The line hugged the wall of the former Frederick County Courthouse. People, bundled up to keep warm in the brisk autumn day, slowly made their way to the courthouse door, clutching large pieces of cardboard. From beginning to end their trek took about three hours Saturday - all for an autograph. Such lines are usually reserved for sports stars. Saturday’s line wasn’t for an athlete, yet a sports analogy certainly fits. Civil War artist Mort Künstler hit a home run of Mark McGwire proportions locally with his latest painting, After the Snow, …The limited edition of 2,750 prints is sold out.
