Mailer with a little wear; in very good condition. Edward Page Mitchell (1852 - 1927) was the long-time editor and a writer for the NY Sun newspaper, as well as a Bowdoin graduate. " At the time that Mitchell joined the NY Sun, the paper had already established a reputation as an innovative publication and was famous for its feature articles and its fiction. Working under the tutelage of Charles A.

Though not overtly political himself, Mitchell had monitored the pulse of the nation for decades" (Laurence W. Mazzeno in the ANB) The recipient, Sumner A. Parker (1881-1946) and his wife G. Dudrea Parker (1883-1972) were natives of Baltimore, both graduates of the Johns Hopkins University. They were dedicated collectors of tapestry, rugs, porcelain, paintings, and antique furniture and specifically designed The Cloisters so that portions could be open to the public as a museum. Eventually, Mrs. Parker willed The Cloisters and its contents to the City of Baltimore; Sumner A. Parker was president of the Armstrong and Parker Company, which produced ornamental ironwork such as balconies, gates, and fences, examples of which may still be seen in the city and at The Cloisters.
