Williamson, George Charles, 1858-1942

Williamson compiled a four-volume catalog of J. Pierpont Morgan's collection of miniatures that was published 1906-1908. A fifth volume was to have been issued but never appeared due to Morgan's death. At the request of the collector's son, J.P. Morgan (1867-1943), Williamson prepared a typescript of his notes and papers in October 1932 and sent it to Morgan. A second supplementary volume, comprising a re-typed version of that portion of the text to have accompanied the hand-colored plates intended for the vellum edition of the fifth volume, also was prepared for Morgan, chiefly in 1933.
