The Waldorf State Apartments--Henry IV, Drawing Room

Black and white lithographic image depicting the drawing room of the Henry IV Suite, Waldorf State Apartments from the 1903 promotional publication assembled by George C. Boldt, then manager and proprietor of the Waldorf-Astoria.

Lithographs produced from original photographs by B.J. Falk.

Referenced by the publication: "Flemish tapestries illustrating the history and prosperity of Rome. Unfortunately these tapestries had to be cut to fit the various spaces. The painting over the mantel, representing “.Margaret de Valois,” wife of Henry the Fourth, is by Denman. All the furniture in the is room, with the exception of perhaps three or four pieces, is original and of the period of Henry IV, the carved screen, however, is Italian, and was carved for the late Duc D'Aosta, brother of the late King Humbert of Italy. Attention is called to the exquisite workmanship. The tapestries in the screen, however, are imitations of the original."
