Chester Burger’s Millitary Patches

 

I was so proud of this project, and immensely pleased to meet Mr. Burger.

 

Mr. Burger’s collection of patches is fascinating and working with them was quite interesting. Also, in the world of Conservation, having the opportunity to meet the person who created an object that you work on is rare – so I felt lucky. And Chester Burger was great to talk to- it was really fun. Really, I think the video kind of says it all.

******ps- if you don’t know me, I’m the one with the green hair!

That’s Alexandra on the right.  She’s often at the the information desk in front of the Rose Reading Room here at the NYPL and has such utterly fabulous fashion sense that it makes me happy just to see her there. Really, I DEFY you to find someone with better style in this whole Bryant Park area. Thanks for taking this picture with me, Alexandra!
