Wikipedia Edit - Henry Chapman Mercer

Henry Chapman Mercer is another American Artist with works in the Pennsylvania Capitol. Mercer is known for his "Moravian tile" designs on the floor of the Capitol. I just made an edit to the Henry Chapman Mercer Wikipedia Article. This article is also very brief, and has not received any major edits since the fall. I added the following text about Mercer's tile work:

"In the Pennsylvania State Capitol, Mercer created a series of mosaic images for the floor of the building. The series of four hundred mosaics trace the history of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from prehistoric times. The Pennsylvania State Capitol is the largest single collection of Mercer's tiles. Other collections of tiles by Mercer can be found at Rockefeller's New York estate, Grauman's Chinese Theater, and the casino at Monte Carlo. "

I made sure to add links to other Wikipedia articles in this edit. The Mercer article is poorly organized, so I will address this problem in subsequent edits if not addressed by other members of the Wikipedia community.
