Mexican Devotional Retablos: From the Peters Collection at Saint Joseph's University, Philadelphia
"The quality and usefulness of this book are tributes to the donors, for their taste and philanthropy, and to the institution, for using a gift collection to support original research." --Robert Hershoff"This is a valuable addition to the growing body of literature on Mexican retablo art... [It provides] far more comprehensive information about the probable artistic prototypes used as models by Mexican provincial artists than was previously available....The forty-eight color reproductions of the retablos from the Peters Collection illustrate the remarkably expressive quality achieved by relatively minor artists in provincial Mexico." --Jos Aguayo"handsomely produced... most informative..." --A.
