NotesOwner Note: Print 1989.34.1 was given to a student by his teacher, M. Spencer. Print 1989.34.4 was given to a student by her teacher, Mary Spencer. Both prints date to 1857-1867. It is possible that M. Spencer is Mary Spencer, and that she gave more than one Kellogg lithograph to more than one student. (Hudson 3/20/2004)
