Austin writes cover story on 1903 bride’s chest
Bruce A. Austin, professor in the School of Communication, reported and wrote “Quest for the Chest: Madeline Yale Wynne's Masterpiece,” the cover story for the June 2023 issue of Maine Antique Digest. The story is about a curator’s inadvertent encounter with a photograph of a 1903 bride’s chest that prompted a two-decade long search to bring the chest home. The hunt led to a fundraising campaign for the chest’s acquisition and resulted in its repatriation to the place where it was crafted.
