Mr. du Pont was undoubtedly a man whose many talents and interests made him unique among his peers of significant American decorative arts collectors. His attention to dining certainly supports this claim, for despite his numerous responsibilities, the evidence suggests that he was as involved with the meals prepared and served at Winterthur as he was with the running of his farm and the managing of his collection. Throughout his life, Mr. du Pont's remarkable attention to the food served in his home reveals much about his character and temperament, as well as the commitment he had to creating at Winterthur a way of life and expression of ideas that reflected his personal interests and values.
