Paperweights from the Henry
Melville Fuller Collection
by Paul Hollister
This catalog documents the Henry Fuller Melville Paperweight
Collection. Although, this collection was gathered in a brief 10
year period from 1982-1992, it includes many outstanding examples of the
very best antique and contemporary paperweights.
This catalog was written for the first public exhibition
of the collection at the Currier Gallery of Art in Manchester, New Hampshire
in 1993. The collection has been exhibited at least twice more, in
1995 along with the Fuller Collection in Springfield, Massachusetts and
later in a second exhibition at the Currier.
95 pages with photographs of 331 paperweights.
About half are in color.
