    PUBLICATIONS OF THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART • 1870-1964 A Bibliography compiled by Albert TenEyck Gardner Associate Curator of American Paintings and Sculpture 1965 3/i^Ar »(^/w^A^*» /)& '(%«st, PREFACE In the second century A.D. the prolific writer Galen compiled a classified bibliography of his works — necessary, in his view, to set the record of history straight. He first listed all the books falsely attributed to him and then, in seventeen succeeding chapters, listed and annotated the five hundred or so titles that had come from his hand. The account might be termed a "bio-bibliography," as it con­ stitutes a record of the author's productivity. This term is also appropriate to Albert TenEyck Gardner's bibliography of the publica­ tions of-The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the first complete listing of all known books, pamphlets, and serials bearing our imprint; for it is a record of the institution's achievements over the past nine decades and mirrors its varied and numerous activities. The scholarly publications testify to the contributions made to knowledge by the Museum's staff; the catalogues and guides indicate the broad scope of its acquisitions; the exhibition catalogues commemorate the many important loan exhibi­ tions that have complemented and augmented its collections. In brief, this bio-bibliography is a valuable index of the myriad ways in which the Museum presents its vast collections of art to an ever-growing public. It is also a testimony of the contributions of many individuals to the Museum's publishing program. As Mr. Gardner notes, a decisive influence over this program was wielded by Henry Watson Kent, Secre­ tary of the Museum for twenty-seven years, who established a tradition of fine design and printing for Museum publications that has survived ever since.

  • GUIDE to the FULLER-HIGGINSON FAMILY PAPERS a Large Part of This Collection Was Received by the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Associ
    GUIDE TO THE FULLER-HIGGINSON FAMILY PAPERS A large part of this collection was received by the Pocumtuck Valley Memorial Association as a gift from the late Miss Elizabeth Fuller of Deerfield in September 1970. A portion had been grouped according to the writers of the manuscripts, and a rearrangement in order to form papers of various members of the two families and of persons closely related to them was undertaken in 1971. In June 1974, Miss Fuller added to her gift a large group of papers of her grandfather, George Fuller (many of which had been microfilmed by the Archive of American Art); a series of diaries of her grandmother, Agnes Higginson Fuller; and additional papers of other members of the Fuller and Higginson families. An arrangement of the collection as it then existed was completed and a guide made toward the end of 1974. Subsequent gifts were received from Miss Fuller and to these a large body of additional material—numbering some 5,000 items and consisting almost entirely of papers of Fuller family members—was received in 1981, 1982, and 1999 as gifts from Mrs. Mary Arms Marsh, a niece and heir of Miss Fuller. These segments were arranged and interfiled with the previous holding and the present guide to describe the entire collection was made. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The Fuller-Higginson Family Papers number approximately 29,750 items dated between 1703 and 1951. They are composed of personal papers—largely letters received, but also drafts and retained copies of letters, diaries, memoranda and account books, and business records—of five generations of the Fuller family: Azariah Fuller of Fitchburg, Mass., his son Aaron (who came to Deerfield from Brighton, Mass., about 1820), and George (Aaron’s son ) and his wife, Agnes Higginson Fuller, their children, and the children of their daughter.

  • Norcross, Fuller, and the Rise of the General Contractor in the United States in the Nineteenth Century
    Norcross, Fuller, and the Rise of the General Contractor in the United States in the Nineteenth Century Sara E. Wermiel Writing in 1917 about the changes in architectural practice since the beginning of his career in 1874, Boston architect Robert D. Andrews noted, “apart from the physical inventions which have added so much to the ease and convenience of modern life, the emergence of the general contractor constitutes the most significant change in professional practice” (1917, pp. 237-8). Given the tremendous amount of change in technology at the end of the nineteenth and opening of the twentieth centuries, it may be surprising that an architect would single out the growth of general contracting as a watershed event. But the emergence of the general contractor, part of the specialization in the building industry that flowered at this time, indeed fundamentally transformed the role of the architect in building production. Before the 1870s, buildings usually involved many contracts, one for each trade, and architects oversaw and coordinated the various tradesmen. Andrews wrote that in the bad old days, a “city house” might require ten to twenty different contracts. He recalled, “The architect had to correlate the working of all those trades and it required much tact and firmness to settle the incessant questions of responsibility arising under these conditions” (1917, p. 238). General contracting begins in the United States in the 1870s, when builders first took single, or whole, contracts to erect all, or at least the bulk, of large and complicated buildings. While single contracts were known earlier than this, these would have been for small projects, such as houses and small churches.
