Excerpt from Catalogue of the Completed Pictures Studies and Sketches: Left by the Late William Merritt Chase, N. A.; The Artistic Studio Effects and His Important Collection of Paintings by Native and Foreign Artists of the Old and Modern Schools It was after examining, with interest and admiration, a considerable number of the pictures in this collection - both Mr. Chase's own works, and canvases he had purchased by other artists of modern and of ancient times - that it occurred to me to ask Mr. Irving R. Wiles, N.A., Mr. Chase's pupil, admirer and friend, to write for this catalogue an appreciation of Mr. Chase the painter as the best sort of interpretation of the paintings here found. For to know Chase the man and artist is to understand the artistic worth of the pictures, and few even of his profession knew him so well as Mr. Wiles. Mr Wiles happily consented, turning to the individual and not burdening himself with a review of this collection, with which he is well acquainted through sharing with the owner in view and criticism during many years. The pictures in the collection are of most varied character, from museum and private gallery canvases to mere sketches and odd "bits" for studio fancy - among the latter some of the most interesting for artist and true amateur - agreeing in all important and some unimportant instances in one characteristic, good painting. Many especially of the older pictures were obviously bought wholly for the pleasure of the painter's eye in his studio or as suggestions of quality achieved, either in the painting or in the harmony of time. A few contemporaneous efforts seem to have been bought for the encouragement of their student producers. Mr. Chase's own works cover all his periods and all his branches and appear in all states, from sketch to completion.

According to one of Julia Margaret Cameron’s great-nieces, “we never knew what Aunt Julia was going to do next, nor did anyone else.” This is an accurate summation of the life of the British photographer (1815–1879), who took up the camera at age forty-eight and made more than twelve hundred images during a fourteen-year career. Living at the height of the Victorian era, Cameron was anything but conventional, experimenting with the relatively new medium of photography, promoting her own art though exhibition and sale, and pursuing the eminent personalities of her age—Alfred Tennyson, Charles Darwin, Thomas Carlyle, and others—as subjects for her lens. For the first time, all known images by Cameron, one of the most important nineteenth-century artists in any medium, are gathered together in a catalogue raisonné. In addition to a complete catalogue of Cameron’s photographs, there is information on her life and times, initial experiments, artistic aspirations, techniques, small-format images, albums, commercial strategies, sitters, and sources of inspiration. Also provided are a selected bibliography of publications on Cameron, a list of exhibitions of her work held both in her time as well as our own, and a summary of important collections where her pictures can be found.
Excerpt from Catalogue of Finished Pictures, Studies and Drawings by the Late Eastman Johnson, N. A The works described in this catalogue comprise prac tically all the pictures, studies, and sketches which Mr. Johnson left behind him at his death, and they Show not only his unusual accomplishment as a portraitist and figure painter, but illustrate in a most interesting manner his method Of work and the wide range Of sub jects which appealed to him. Although Mr. Johnson devoted himself mainly, and with distinguished success, to portraiture, he was the pioneer Of domestic genre in this country, and found congenial motives, first among the Indians Of the Lake Superior region, next among the people Of the South, and latterly in New England, where he passed a great portion of his time. Some Of his most important pictures represented events in the life of the New England farmer, such as Corn Husk ing, The Cranberry Harvest and many scenes in the sugar camps. More than a generation ago he made care ful studies Of characteristic types, costumes and in teriors which have Since disappeared entirely, and many of his studies are now Of great historic value, notably those Of Mt. Vernon before changes were made there. Sympathetic in disposition and domestic in taste, the charm of home life appealed very strongly to him, and among his most pleasing works are Simple little inci dents Of child life on the farm.
