Treasured Landscapes

T. McKay
Before 1925

Thomas Edison's wife, Mina Miller Edison, had a passion for Venice, Italy, and this pastel scene of Venice hung in Glenmont's reception room for decades. The artist, McKay, may have been one of the McKay sisters, an interior decorating team that completed work in the interiors of Glenmont in the late 1920s and 1930s.
