New additions to ExploreUK

We are pleased to announce two recent additions to ExploreUK.

Samuel Perkins Gilmore prints, 1718-1935

Samuel Perkins Gilmore was born in Somerset, Kentucky on February 26, 1868. He received his public school education in Somerset and began practicing as a dermatologist in San Francisco in 1891. He moved to New York in the early twentieth century and lived there till his death in 1948. During his nearly fifty years of practice in New York City, he treated many Hollywood and Broadway actresses, and often traveled to Europe. He remained fond of his hometown of Somerset and upon his death, left his collection to the Somerset Board of Education.

Collection consists of 674 photographs, etchings and engravings of prominent literary, artistic, military and political figures, primarily representative of nineteenth century European and American society.
