Wicked Baltimore

Charm City Sin and Scandal

By: Lauren R. Silberman

Detailing the salacious history of Baltimore and its denizens from the city's earliest history up to and through Prohibition. With nicknames such as "Mob Town" and "Syphilis City," no one would deny that Baltimore has its dark side. Before shows such as "The Wire" and "Homicide: Life on the Streets" brought the city's crime rate to national attention, locals entertained themselves with rumors surrounding the mysterious death of writer Edgar Allan Poe and stories about Zelda Fitzgerald, wife of author F. Scott Fitzgerald, who spent time in a Baltimore area sanitarium in the 1930s. Tourists make the Inner Harbor one of the most traveled areas in the country, but if they would venture a few streets north to The Block on Baltimore Street they would see an area once famous for its burlesque shows. It is only the locals who would know to continue north on St. Paul to the Owl Bar, a former speakeasy that still proudly displays some of its Prohibition era paraphernalia.

The Lauren Rogers Museum of Art

Handbook of the Collections

By: Lauren Rogers Museum of Art (Laurel, Miss.)

Art The Lauren Rogers Museum of Art opened in 1923 as the first art museum in Mississippi. Its rich treasury of works by acclaimed masters focuses on European art, American art, Japanese prints, Native American baskets, and English Georgian silver. This handbook showcases each of these magnificent collections. Comprising eighteenth- and nineteenth-century paintings from the French salon, the Barbizon School, and French realism, the European collection in-cludes canvases by Eugéne Boudin, Jean Fran?ois Millet, Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, Rosa Bonheur, and others. The American collection of paintings, sculpture, and works on paper is the keystone of the museum's permanent holdings. It includes paintings from the Hudson River School, American impressionism, The Ten, the Ashcan School, American regionalism, and early modernism, as well as other major art movements of the twentieth century. Included are works by Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, Thomas Moran, Mary Cassatt, Robert Henri, Charles Burchfield, Richmond Barthé, Fairfield Porter, Romare Bearden, and others. Works by master artists Hiroshige, Hokusai, and Utamaro are among 160 woodblock prints in the Japanese ukiyo-e collection. Themes of these prints include landscapes, beautiful women, and theater. Upon the founding of the museum, 500 Native American baskets were the gift of Catherine Marshall Gardiner. Some eighty tribes are represented with remarkable woven objects from the entire continent of North America. The English Georgian silver collection, the gift of Thomas and Harriet Gibbons, exemplifies the highest achieve-ments of master silversmiths of the era. It comprises 105 pieces of sterling, most pieces used for the serving of tea. They include elegant tea caddies, urns, epergnes, and baskets for cakes and sweetmeats. With full-color photographs and detailed descriptions, this handbook is an exciting overview of a remarkable treasury of visual art. The Lauren Rogers Museum of Art is an elegant neo-Georgian edifice located at Fifth Avenue and Seventh Street in Laurel, Mississippi.
