----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Colleagues: We have a patron doing research on Thomas Moran. From the books remaining in our library on Thomas Moran, I cannot answer these questions; perhaps someone in the know on Thomas Moran might be able to. The patron has found several citations to what appears to be two publications entitled "Studies and Pictures" 1869 (the context suggests a book of lithographs by Thomas Moran) and "Studies for Pictures" published in the mid 1860's (the context suggess it is a book of photographs by John Moran after drawings by Thomas Moran). We can find no trace of these having been published (OCLC, Mansell, American Catalogue (1858-1884)) yet the citations he has found suggest that they were publications. The question is were they published? Who was the publisher? When were they published? Who owns them (where could they be consulted). Please respond to me directly rather than on the list (unless there is enough interest in the topic to merit an ARLIS-L response.) Advance thanks for whaterever help anyone can provide. Gratefully, Tom Jacoby response- rietdnm ***************************************************** Thomas Jacoby Head, Art & Design Library, U-5AD University of Connecticut Library 369 Fairfield Road Storrs, CT 06269-1005 E-Mail: [log in to unmask] Voice: (860)486-2787; Voice Mail: (860)486-1243 Fax: (860)486-3593
