Tue AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION, Manacena. THOMAS E. KIRBY, Avcrionerr. NOTE The majority of the old pictures of this collection were inherited by the late George Wood, of Philadelphia, from his father, Alexander Wood, a Chief Justice of Scotland, Lord Wood, who died at Edinburgh in 1866. The collection was made some eighty or ninety years ago, and in the pre- ponderance of sixteenth and seventeenth century works and those of the contemporary English School it reflects accu- rately the taste of the time. As was the case with most pri- vate collections of this period, the pictures were ascribed to the masters whose works they most resembled. In order that there should be no misunderstanding by reason of such ascriptions, the Association has had the pictures recatalogued in the light of modern knowledge. This departure from its usual practice, which is that of all great auction-rooms, of accepting the traditional attribu- tions, seemed justified by the especial circumstances of the case. It seemed a pity that works, often meritorious in themselves, should de discredited by misleading ascriptions, or that one should be put in any other position than that of judging these pictures by their artistic merits. Accord- ingly, and in pusuance of the Association’s regular policy of putting at the disposal of its patrons, whether sellers or buyers, the judgment, knowledge and experience of its mem- bers and associates, there have been indicated as copies the pictures that clearly fall into that category by describing them as “After” the respective artists. Pictures of which only the general style was ascertainable have been designated as “School” pieces. Those which could be confidently ascribed to the manner of a particular artist have been catalogued as “Attributed to.” It should be said that these pictures are old, for the most part original, and that an exhaustive expertise would undoubtedly identify many of them as interesting works of the artists of the old schools.
