Theodore Bolton Card Files, 1922-1925.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/605926735

Note cards created by Frick Art Reference Library staff who copied material from notebooks compiled prior to 1925 by Theodore Bolton. Bolton gathered the material in preparation for an intended dictionary of American painters in oils corresponding to his "Early American Portrait Draughtsmen in Crayons," 1923 and "American Miniatures, 1730-1850," 1927. He was attempting to list all oil portraits prior to 1850. The files contain a biographical card for each artist, and then a description card for each portrait by that artist which may include the birth and death dates of the sitter, measurements, owner at the time, and other references.

2 linear feet (4 card file boxes).
