NOTES:

[1] A note on the mat of P8221, transcribed from an earlier mount, states: "Probably all of this series came from Joseph Maberly's collection, according to Mr. Sewall."

[2] Henry F. Sewall offered his collection to the MFA for purchase in 1888. That purchase was finalized in 1897, one year after Sewall's death.
