‘The aim of this exhibition is to present prove the interpretation of the artist a
visual history of the Great Bay area. This jnterpretation is comprised of paintings,
drawings, prints, maps, photographs, and mofils portraying historically and currently
pictorial record of the inhabitants and the communities of the Great Bay. The ex-
hibition consists of 65 pieces; many of whichare landscapes, town views, portraits, and
photographs depicting the heritage of the Bay area. Compilation of the material was
achieved through selection from publicand pripatecollections. Since this particular type
of exhibit has not, omy knowledge, been attempted before, the sources for assemblance
of pertinent objects to this exhibition were not generally known. Through corre-
spondence with local historical societies and associations, my predecessor, Dirk Bach,
had already made contact with these local ofganizations. Further correspondence on
my part led to selection of available pieces and also gave me information as to the
whereabouts of many important objects in private collections.
We are especially pleased to be able topublish a permanent record of all the objects
shown in the exhibition thereby possibly formulating a segment of the history of the
area which may never again be publicly shown. I would like to express our gratitude
to Mrs. Thomas C. Dunnington and other contributors who made the publication of
this catalogue financially possible. Also, 1
