Transcripci\u00f3n de las cartas de George A. Crawley<\/h1>\n\n\n

por Emily Werner, curadora<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cMe mantengo despierto pensando en todo esto por las noches, esperando que sea todo un \u00e9xito\u2026 Habr\u00e9 invertido mucho esfuerzo en ello y, de alguna manera, las cosas suelen salir bien en este mundo si uno se esfuerza sin l\u00edmites\u201d. <\/em>\u2013 George Crawley a Jay Phipps, 6\/1\/1905<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Escritas con una escritura din\u00e1mica, con puntuaci\u00f3n, ortograf\u00eda y abreviaturas variables, las cartas pueden resultar dif\u00edciles de entender en ocasiones. El Departamento de Preservaci\u00f3n ha trabajado arduamente para organizar la colecci\u00f3n y transcribir las cartas para que sean m\u00e1s accesibles al personal y a los investigadores. He estudiado las cartas y me he convertido en un experto en la lectura de la caligraf\u00eda de Crawley. Crawley utilizaba ocasionalmente la escritura cruzada, en la que escrib\u00eda l\u00edneas de texto primero horizontalmente y luego verticalmente en la misma hoja de papel para ahorrar en gastos de env\u00edo y papel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Los Archivos de Old Westbury Gardens contienen una colecci\u00f3n de cartas escritas por el dise\u00f1ador ingl\u00e9s George A. Crawley a John S. \u201cJay\u201d Phipps durante la construcci\u00f3n de Westbury House y la finca circundante. Estas cartas, que datan de 1904 a principios de la d\u00e9cada de 1920, nos brindan una valiosa perspectiva de la mente creativa que dio vida a nuestra querida casa y jardines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a1Letras cruzadas como esta eran particularmente dif\u00edciles de descifrar! (19\/3\/1907)<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Como Crawley y Jay rara vez estaban en el mismo lugar, o incluso en el mismo pa\u00eds, mientras discut\u00edan los planes para la casa, sus cartas cubren todo, desde la ubicaci\u00f3n de las tuber\u00edas de drenaje y los interruptores de luz hasta los dise\u00f1os de las repisas de la chimenea y la ubicaci\u00f3n de los \u00e1rboles en el paisaje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Crawley manten\u00eda a Jay al tanto del proyecto con regularidad. Coordinaba contratos y negociaba pagos con diversos artistas, artesanos, comerciantes de arte, paisajistas y otros trabajadores. Exig\u00eda a todos sus alt\u00edsimos est\u00e1ndares y se negaba a comprometer la calidad, pidiendo a menudo que se repitiera el trabajo si no le hab\u00eda gustado la primera vez. En una carta de 1906 a Jay, escribi\u00f3: \u00abLas obras en Westbury avanzan satisfactoriamente y espero que usted y su esposa est\u00e9n satisfechos con el resultado. Creo que cada habitaci\u00f3n tendr\u00e1 un inter\u00e9s particular y demostrar\u00e1 cuidado y dedicaci\u00f3n. Soy muy exigente y, hasta cierto punto, exigente...\u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Algunas cartas incluso contienen bocetos r\u00e1pidos de elementos de dise\u00f1o, como \u00e9sta que muestra su visi\u00f3n del paisaje en 1906. \u00a1Es divertido comparar los bocetos con sus planes formales e incluso con los resultados finales!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuestra archivista, Vanessa, est\u00e1 trabajando en el escaneo de las cartas y su incorporaci\u00f3n a nuestra base de datos interna para contribuir a las labores de preservaci\u00f3n. Esta colecci\u00f3n sigue siendo una fuente constante de informaci\u00f3n a medida que seguimos aprendiendo m\u00e1s sobre el proceso de Crawley y la construcci\u00f3n de Westbury House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
