The Lenox Library was the Fifth Avenue home of a private collection of books, manuscripts and art that James Lenox assembled and opened to the public in the 1870s, and this view captures its foyer. Lenox, a wealthy New Yorker, built the library to hold his rare Bibles and early American documents, and it later became one of the components that formed the New York Public Library in 1895. Interior views like this one show the building's formal, marble-and-woodwork character, reflecting the reserved, scholarly aspirations of the period's private book collectors.
