NOTES:
[1] Frick Art Reference Library, New York, MS.129 Loewi-Robertson Archive, stock book 1939-1956, copy in Nelson-Atkins curatorial files. The stock book lists Loewi’s source as “C.8292.” Based on similar entries in the book, it is likely ‘C.’ stands for ‘consignment’, and this object may have been on consignment either from another dealer or from another branch of Loewi’s business.
