Stein, Nathan

The collection consists primarily of materials relating to "Shingleside," a country home in Charlotte, NY designed for Stein by Claude Bragdon, but it also includes several family photographs. In 1916, Nathan Stein's family commissioned Carl Raschen to make drawings of the house and grounds. Raschen (1882-1961) was a painter, illustrator, etcher and one-time teacher at the Chicago Art Institute whose work appeared in many newspapers and periodicals of the day. Plates were made from the drawings to illustrate a privately printed booklet; some of the copper plates are also in this collection.
