Acrylic and oil on cotton canvas ducking, watercolor, India ink, wool yarn, metal rods, and wood finials.

James Welu, the Director of the Worcester Art Museum, has kindly given me an offprint of his article from "Imago Mundi." His article on the map in Vermeer's "Art of Painting" was a valuable source for me while I was working on "Vermeer's Map." (George Deem, letter to Robert Leggett, February 1, 1999.)
