Title from page 4 of cover.

"Twenty years ago, while working as a book conservator at the Frick Art Reference Library, I was given the job of cleaning and preserving a series of photo albums, artifacts from when the Frick residence was being rebuilt as a library and museum. The albums contained original photographs taken by Alfred Cook, a footman to the Frick family. His images reveal a lexicon of strange and curious subjects: dark hallways, empty rooms, and most notably, light fixtures. The images reproduced in this book were made between 1933 and 1935. -- Adam Putnam" -- Publisher's website (viewed January 16, 2020)
