Just wondering if the Jennifer Vess at the JMM is the intern who, in 2006, produced the “Silver Flatware…” inventory for SCOPE? I am pursuing information on William Seal, Jr. a Phidelphia silversmith listed therein.

Hi Madison -
Why yes I am indeed. It’s been awhile since I worked on that and I don’t think that I can provide you with any information, but the scope was done for the collections at the Chester County Historical Society (in West Chester, PA). You can contact them (http://www.chestercohistorical.org) about what pieces they have in their collection related to that silversmith.
Best,
Jennifer
To whom it may concern,
I’m Giulia Rondi an italian student and I would like to ask you some informations about the exhibition: ZAP! POW! BAM! The Superhero:The golden age of comic books, that will take place in the jewish museum of Maryland from October 2012 to march 2013. I need these informations for my school-leaving exam. These questions are:
did the Great depression influence the development of comic book?
what did superheros symbolize for american people?
thank you for your availability
best regards
Giulia Rondi
Hi Giulia,
Unfortunately we’re not the best folks to ask this question, we didn’t create the exhibit in question, we’re just borrowing it. I suggest you contact the Bremen museum in Atlanta, Georgia. They created the exhibit and may be able to point you to some useful resources.
Best of luck!
