Dresser, Louisa. XVIIth CENTURY PAINTING IN NEW ENGLAND. A CATALOGUE OF AN 
EXHIBITION HELD AT THE WORCESTER ART MUSEUM IN COLLABORATION WITH THE 
AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY.

Worcester Art Museum: 1934.

Karpel notes- "A new standard of acceptable scholarship in the field of 
American art history was established by the author in the quality of 
research that preceded the publication of this very significant catalog".

The text includes "an excellent article" on 17th century portraiture in New 
England by Dresser as well as descriptions of the 36 portraits. Of 
particular interest was the extensive use of x-ray photography to evaluate 
each portrait, the first time this technique had been used as an integral 
part of preparing an exhibition; Alan Burroughs, head of x-ray research at 
the Fogg Museum of Art, includes a report on his findings in this catalog. 
Hardcover. 7"x10.5", 187 pages, b/w plates; a very nice copy, with a short 
repaired tear along the top joint and a little soil. [07967] $125.00
