Catalogue of the Gallery of Art of The New York Historical Society

"Catalogue of the Gallery of Art of The New York Historical Society" by the New-York Historical Society is a detailed record of an early 20th-century art collection. It acts as a complete guide to the artwork owned by The New York Historical Society, describing many paintings and sculptures organized by who gave them or what collection they belonged to. The beginning explains how the book is set up, names the society's leaders, and presents an introduction that highlights the most important collections. It gives more information about collections like the Reed, Bryan, and Durr collections, that contain many artworks with details about the artists and where each piece came from. Furthermore, the book includes short biographies of artists who have died and indexes to help readers find information quickly. This sets up a detailed look at around three hundred artworks that are documented in the rest of the catalogue.
