Illustrations

The following list identifies the 183 illustrations that are cited by marginal
numbers in the text of the lectures. (The two-part entry numbers used here
refer to the lecture number and—after the period—to the illustration number
within that lecture.) The marginal numbers in the text are positioned (as in
Ray's typescript) to show where the slides were to be shown; and the entries
that follow identify each slide in terms of the content of the image, the book
or album from which the image comes (frequently with a page or plate number),
and—except for secondary sources—the collection holding the specific
copy that was photographed. For a record of the illustrations grouped by collection,
see the index that follows, under the entries for Columbia (2 items),
Dr. Jack Eisert (4), Harvard (2), Metropolitan Museum of Art (9), Morgan
Library (69), New York Public Library (28) Princeton (18), Stanford (5), and
Yale (33). Thirteen illustrations were presented by Ray from secondary
sources: 4.1, 5.5-7, 5.13-14, 5.27-30, 5.34-36.

The illustrations may be viewed by visiting the website of the Bibliographical
Society of the University of Virginia at {http://etext.virginia.edu/
bsuva/artdeco}. Eight of these illustrations are also included in the present
volume: 1.18, 2.16, 3.24, 3.30, 4.27, 5.26, 5.37, 5.45.
