115. Tyler, Francine. "The Angel in the Factory: Images of Women Workers Engraved on Ante-bellum Bank Notes." Vol. 19, no. 1 (Spring 1994), 2-10.
Tyler has assembled images of women at work, including some depicting women in the textile industry. Many bank notes were issued by banks in communities noted for their textile factories. Tyler provides a brief history of textile manufacturing in New England and the makers of the images and their sources. A vignette of a female slave and child is also reproduced in this article.
116. White, Robert R. "The Southwestern Etchings of Peter Moran: A History and Catalog." Vol. 19, no. 1 (Spring 1994), 11-28.
Peter Moran (1841-1914), attracted to New Mexico by its scenery and people, made his first trip there by railroad in 1880. He returned during the next three years, producing an important body of work including fourteen etchings thoroughly described in this well-researched essay. White adds another etching to the catalog in a brief note in the Spring 1995 Imprint (Vol. 20, no. 1, 34-5): Santa Fe, 1883, which is related to a photograph by William Henry Jackson.
117. Howitson, Brenda, Claire Goodwin, and Mary Micarelli. "An Index to Illustrations of Massachusetts People and Places in Ballou's and Gleason's Pictorials." Vol. 19, no. 2 (Autumn 1994), 30-41.
The introduction to this useful checklist provides background on these two periodicals that were published consecutively from 1851 to 1859. The index is very useful for those who must respond to the question, "Do you have a picture of ______ ?"
118. Patterson, William C. "The Philadelphia Society of Etchers." Vol. 19, no. 2 (Autumn 1994), 17-29.
Patterson sets the Philadelphia Society of Etchers in the context of the etching revival of the late nineteenth century. The founding members included Peter Moran, Stephen Parrish, Stephen James Ferris, Joseph Pennell, and Henry Rankin Poore. Moran was president for the twenty-four years that the Philadelphia Society of Etchers was active. Works by each of the major artists are discussed and reproduced. The organization's records exist in the Bucks County Historical Society.
119. Worman, Eugene C., Jr. "A Geographical Catalog of Bartlett Prints in American Scenery." Vol. 19, no. 2 (Autumn 1994), 2-16.
Worman, the authority on William Henry Bartlett (1809-1854), provides excellent background on the publication of American Scenery. Also of interest are titles of books bearing contemporary reproductions of the engravings such as American periodicals, histories, biographies, and guidebooks. In a compact format, the geographical catalog presents valuable information, including the number of each plate, whether or not German and French subtitles are present, dimensions, earliest imprint date, location of the engraving in the published work, and the location of any original drawings.
