Hanging Smith & Telfer photos at the Otesaga Resort Hotel

By Michelle Murdock, Curator of Exhibitions

One of the many pleasures of working in a tight-knit community is having the opportunity to work with our friends at local businesses and organizations. Recently, Preparator Steve Loughman and I were asked to hang photographs at the Otesaga Resort Hotel, just down the road from the Fenimore Art Museum here in Cooperstown, New York. The photographs are of the Hotel, taken in the first three decades of the 20th century, and were reprinted from Fenimore's Smith & Telfer photography collection. Here are some pictures from our day.


The Hotel's designer had specific instructions for installation.



It was a fun and challenging installation, hanging horizontal frames on vertical wallpaper. Precision was definitely the word of the day!




They turned out great and it was nice to be able to provide our services to our friends at the Hotel.
