Main Entrance Hall 10. Mosaic Vaulting in Main Entrance Hall ii. Colonnade of Interior Court Robert C. Winthrop, early benefactors; Charles Coffin Jewett, the institution's first great librarian (1858-1868); and Alexan- der Vattemare, the ubiquitous Frenchman whose zeal for the international exchange of books ...helped to stir the ferment that led to the founding of the Library.
26 THE INTERIOR COURT Main access to the Interior Court is from the two side corridors off the Entrance Hall. One steps onto an arcaded promenade of white marble framing three sides of a rectangular green par- terre and reflecting pool, in its perfect proportions a near copy of the arcade of the first story of the Palazzo della Cancelleria in Rome. The marble of the arches, cornice and parapet comes from Georgia; once pure white, it is slowly turning pale gold; the marble of the columns comes from Tuckahoe, New York, today a soft gray-white.
