Footnotes

Lavishly presented catalogue of "the most comprehensive and probably most important collection of bronzes to be found in private possession" (Preface). The collection was on loan to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London until 1912, when it was shipped to New York for exhibition, but on Morgan's death in 1913 the collection was dispersed by his son.
