Overview: Limned portraits, fraktur documents, and schoolgirl exercises were shown from the more than 2,500 late 18th- and 19th-century American paintings acquired by the Garbisches. Of considerable interest were the frames on many of the works; whether original or merely reproductions, they were specifically identified and described in the accompanying catalogue.

Organization: The exhibition, organized by William P. Campbell, assistant chief curator, was sent on a United States tour by the American Federation of Arts after being shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
