Scrapbook compiled by Andrew C. Zabriskie containing items dating from May 1893 to July 1894. There are 79 pages mostly of newspaper clippings, some correspondence, fliers, and some photographs describing a variety of local issues, events, business dealings, and personalities. Included are many articles citing Zabriskie’s business associations and his involvement with church and civic matters. Noteworthy is a considerable amount of space devoted to the laying of the cornerstone of the new St. Luke’s Hospital in New York City on May 6, 1897. Andrew Zabriskie was chairman of the Committee of Arrangements for the event. In honor of the occasion, the American Numismatic Society issued a gold medal commemorating the hospital’s completion and bearing the portrait of the founder, Rev. William Augustus Muhlenberg. There are copies of the medal, in other metal types, in the Society’s collection. The medal was executed for the Society by sculptor Victor D. Brenner, himself a Society Associate member (1894) and a die cutter. Other articles of numismatic interest include a story about Indian peace medals presented to chiefs visiting George Washington; a bill proposed in Congress to lease or sell a portion of the property owned by the U.S. Mint in Charlotte, North Carolina; the discovery of $500 in continental currency at a Zabriskie family farm in New Jersey; and a list of names and address of members of the Joint Committee on the Improvement of the United States Coinage, including Andrew Zabriskie. On the lighter side, there is an article revealing research “proving” the presence of dangerous microbes on bank notes of the Spanish Bank of Havana. Of general historical interest is an article announcing the sale of an autographed letter by Nathan Hale to his uncle dated September 24, 1774, with the letter reproduced in its entirety.
