Anne Morgan

Résumé du livre

Award-winning author and filmmaker Alan Govenar, who has produced more than forty short videos for the Musee Francoamericain du Château de Blérancourt, has been working for two years with Mary Niles Maack, a researcher and Professor Emerita at UCLA. Their book is a work in three parts: a biographical essay, co-authored by Govenar and Maack about Anne Morgan, celebrated humanitarian and founder of the Franco-American Museum, Château de Blérancourt; an essay by Govenar on Anne Morgan and her groundbreaking work catapulted by photography; and a series of rare historic photos of Anne Morgan and her war relief efforts in France. Photography was integral to Anne Morgan's career. Time and time again, she used photographs as a means to muster support for her relief efforts and to advance her philanthropic mission. The thousands of hotographs she commisioned during World War I may stand as one of her most enduring achievements."
