 for lending Hassam prints for examination: Washington 

 County Museum of Fine Arts, Hagerstown, Maryland; 

 University of Nebraska Art Galleries; Honolulu Academy of 

 Arts; Detroit Institute of Arts; and the Atlanta Art

In addition, I am grateful to the late Henry Kleemann, 

 who provided clues to the location of several unique exam- 

 ples of the artist' s work and biographical information about 

 Hassam, whom he knew personally; and to George C. Miller, of 

 New York City, for other information about Hassam' s prints. 



Finally, to Jacob Kainen, curator of the division of graphic 

 arts, and P. W. Bishop, head curator of the department of 

 arts and manufactures , United States National Museum, 

 I am indebted for generous criticism and suggestions.
