Boston Globe: "From Locke-Ober to the Franklin Public Library"

"That Locke-Ober, one of the most storied dining establishments from Boston’s past, should have a connection with the Franklin Public Library is surprising. That the connection involves the work of a Gilded Age painter from Italy, Tommaso Juglaris (pronounced YOO-glar-is), may be even more so.

Juglaris’s career offers further surprises. His own connections extend from the painters Camille Corot, who championed his work, and Childe Hassam, a Juglaris pupil, to the publisher Louis Prang, namesake of the Fenway street, who brought Juglaris to the United States, and the Rhode Island School of Design, where he was a founding faculty member."
