Notes: Exhibit catalog.  Essays by Mather, Richard Ahlborn (1933-2015), Marc Simmons and Bertha Dutton (1903-1994).   NOT THE Fred Harvey, but his son.  A comparison between the art produced in Mexico in the period 1521-1821, and that produced in New Mexico during the same period.  While the book is indeed an exhibit catalog, I think it would have benefited from more color photos of the antiquities.
