Notes
The Story of Glass illustrated the month of April, accompanied by the following text written by John Kieran, "Along the valley of the Nile, in the land of the lotus and under an ancient Pharoah, glass was produced about 1500 B.C... . glass-making extended into Europe and about the middle of the fifteenth century the glass blowers of Venice and Murano became the artistic and commercial masters of the industry. Glass is spun, blown and fashioned in wonderful ways now, but for sheer artistry old Venetian glassware still holds an unrivaled place."
This painting is included in the N.C. Wyeth catalogue raisonné database that is being compiled by the Brandywine River Museum and Conservancy, Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania.
