The Metropolitan Museum Journal is issued annually by The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Its purpose is to publish original research on works in the Museum's collections and the areas of investigation they represent. Contributions, by members of the Museum staff and other specialists, vary in length from monographic studies to brief notes. The wealth of the Museum's collections and the scope of these essays make the Journal essential reading for all scholars and amateurs of the fine arts.
Included in this volume are a detailed postscript to the exhibition catalogue France in the Golden Age (1982), bringing its information up to date; an account of the collectors and connoisseurs who helped to form the Metropolitan Museum's extensive collection of Japanese prints; and a bibliography of the writings of Gisela M. A. Richter (1882–1972).
132 pages, 136 black-and-white illustrations, 9 in. x 11 3/8 in. Hardcover; clothbound, with jacket.
