The art show took place in the Beth Israel Hospital solarium.
These papers consist of material by and about Dr. Abraham Jacobi and were gathered by The Mount Sinai Hospital over the years due to his importance to the Hospital. The most interesting component of the collection is the folder of eleven letters, which relate primarily to Dr. Jacobi's various roles at Mount Sinai, in particular his service as Chairman of the Supervisory Committee of the Dispensary and as the Pediatrician in Chief. The latter is represented by a letter from 'several Pacints' [sic] complaining to Jacobi about the cruelty of the Night Nurse on the ward. There is also an interesting letter from Emil Gruening, MD in 1909 commenting about the problems he has had in the Eye and Ear Department with an unnamed adjunct physician. There are also two letters where Jacobi offers his assessment of two unnamed patients.

(Abraham), 1830-1919Accompanying caption reads: "Mount Sinai staff, patients, and passers-by had a chance to view the talent of East Harlem artists this summer in a show arranged by Marx Bowens, Medical Center Director of Community Affairs, and Blake Hobbs, Director of Cultural Arts Center of Union Settlement, East 104th St. Shown here in one exhibit area across the street from the Hospital (the other was a wall of KCC), are (l. to r.): Odessa Frazier and Karen Crippern of Union Settlement; Mr. Bowens; Luis C. Ferreira, also of the Settlement, and Mr. Hobbs, who has encouraged ad developed art talent in the community. Some of the paintings prints, and drawings were for sale.
