118 KEPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1924 



compilation of a check list of his engraved work, undertaken by 

 Ralph C. Smith, aid in the division. These prints were given by 

 the George Washington Life Insurance Co., Charleston, W. Va.; 

 the Hartford Fire Insurance Co., Hartford, Conn.; Harry V. John- 

 son, Washington, D. C, and Frederick E. Haight, New York City. 



Miss Elizabeth Norton, Palo Alto, Calif., contributed 18 of her 

 woodcuts, landscapes, birds, and animals, the majority having been 

 placed on exhibition, making a valued addition to this series. 



George O. Hart, Coytesville, N. J., gave 28 of his prints, dry 

 points, aquatints, and lithographs, black and white and in color. 

 Mr. Hart has an entirely personal view point and technic. He has 

 traveled in many out of the way places and made his sketches from 

 the life with which he has come in contact. The prints, which were 

 made from the drawings, are as original in method as the life he 

 has chosen to portray. 



The American Red Cross, Washington, D. C, added three etchings 

 by Louis Orr to the collections. These are views of Rheims Cathe- 

 dral. 



From Richard Polak, Sunn Matt, Switzerland, came 65 photo- 

 gravures made from his pictorial photographs of Dutch scenes of 

 the seventeenth century. These were exhibited in the section of 

 photography for three months and then loaned to the Camera Club, 

 of New York, for April, 1924. They are very fine reproductions of 

 very fine artistic photographs. 



The drawing by Franklin Booth, which he had loaned to the 

 division for two years, was temporarily removed but has now been 

 returned as a gift. It is in Mr. Booth's inimitable style. 



Earle W. Huckel, Philadelphia, Pa., formerly connected with 

 the division, continued to show his interest by giving 100 miscel- 

 laneous prints. Among them are prints by St. Memin, David Edwin, 

 John Sartain, Samuel Sartain, T. B. Welch, S. H. Gimber, and 

 other early American engravers in stipple and mezzotint. Eight 

 lithographs, hand colored, of American Indians after the paintings 

 by C. B. King, are probably all the work of Albert Newsam, the 

 famous Philadelphia lithographer. One print each by the English 

 engravers, J. Wright, F. Howard, and Thomas Watson deserve men- 

 tion. 



Mrs. Earle W. Huckel added 10 old bookbinding tools, probably 

 of the seventeenth or eighteenth century, which she found in an old 

 shop in London. At her suggestion, the British Museum purchased 

 a large number of the tools that were in this old bookbinding 

 establishment.
