In Short – The Rosenbach houses the largest collection of portrait miniatures in the country, as well as a notable collection of furniture and book-related items, like Herman Melville's bookcase. Also inside: the first copy of the first edition of "Don Quixote," more than 600 letters from Lewis Carroll, personal letters from George Washington, and a collection of illustrations and manuscripts by Maurice Sendak.
