Summary

In their day, from 1830 to 1930, members of the Sartain family of Philadelphia were widely known as printmakers, painters, art administrators, and educators. Since then, the accomplishments of three generations of Sartains have become obscure. This wide-ranging collection of essays aims to rectify that situation.
