Description: "In their day, from 1830 to 1930, members of the Sartain family of Philadelphia were widely admired as printmakers, painters, art administrators, and educators. Since then, the accomplishments of three generations of Sartains - John, children Samuel, Henry, Emily, and William, and grand-daughter Harriet - have become obscure. This wide-ranging collection of essays aims to rectify that situation."--BOOK JACKET.
