Notes on Transcribing this page (optional)
Two historical notes on names: The "National Gallery of Art" referenced here is now called the Smithsonian American Art Museum; this is *not* the current NGA, which was established in the 1930s and is not a part of the Smithsonian. Similarly, the "National Gallery of Portraits" named here is not the current Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, which was created in the 1960s.
This section can be used to communicate any questions or concerns to Smithsonian staff, as well as other volunteers, about this transcription. Do not use to transcribe extraneous notes made by collector or other institutions.
