Strangers – Today

On this day in history, August 1 . . .
Since 1814, The Athenaeum has been visited by politicians, diplomats, scientists, and literary figures. Our guest book was traditionally called the Record of Strangers: each non-member, or "Stranger" was usually signed in by an Athenaeum member. Here are the Strangers who signed in on this date over the years.

Jean-Francois-George-Frederic, Baron de Maltitz

Jean-Francois-George-Frederic, Baron de Maltitz was a Russian diplomat. He was secretary of the Russian legation in Washington, and acted as interim chargé d'affaires from 1826 to 1827. After his time in the United States, the Baron served as a Russian diplomat in London, Berlin, and Holland. The Record of Strangers indicates that the Baron visited the Athenaeum multiple times in the early 1820s. On this occasion, he appears to be introduced by Theodore Ivanoff, Russia's Consul General in Philadelphia.
