Eighteen drawings by Eugeen Van Mieghem move to New York

The drawings will be housed in the New York Historical Society, a museum and library in Manhattan along Central Park. ” It is an honor that the museum has accepted this donation. We also want to make Van Mieghem known on the other side of the ocean. One of the conditions of the donation is therefore that the drawings are lent to exhibitions all over America and Canada. Three A quarter of the emigrants that Van Mieghem drew were Jewish people who emigrated from Europe. New York is the pre-eminent center of Jewish culture in America.”
