tant accession is a lithograph, Divertissement d'Es'pagne^ by the 

 Spanish artist Francisco Goya. The gift of Albert H. Gordon, of 

 New York City, through E. Weyhe, Inc., this rare and valuable print 

 is one of a set of four bullfight subjects that is considered the first 

 great product of lithography. 



Among the important prints obtained were two separate states of 

 the lithograph II tomhe dans Vabime, by the French artist Odilon 

 Kedon; three lithographs from Campaign Sketches by Winslow 

 Homer, the American artist who documented the Civil War, A Pass 

 Time {Cavalry at Rest), Foraging, and The Baggage Train; two

Among the fine examples of photographic equipment and prints 

 acquired by the section of photography was a Cinematographe, in-

 apparatus invented by Frederic Eugene Ives, of Philadephia, a pio-

 slides for this projector; an 1894 Ives photochromoscope Kromskop 

 stereo camera and viewer, and a large number of Kromogram slides 

 for use in the viewer. The Kromskop System offered a method for 

 taking color separation stereo pictures and viewing them in full color.

 aluminum made from the first commercial production of the Hall 

 process. These, presented by tlie Scovill Manufacturing Co., will
