Partially Reviewed: Rough draft. I've gone through these pictures once, removing the worst ones, some duplication, etc. I usually take sequences of 4 or 5 pictures at a time and there are lots of near duplicates. I'll be doing a final review later which allows me compare the pictures that survived the first cut and make final determinations of what pictures to keep.

Recognize anyone? If you recognize specific people (or other things) in the pictures which I haven't labeled, please identify them for us. Or fill in any other descriptions you can. Click the little pencil icon

underneath the file name (just above the picture).

Generally-Related Subject Description: The Walters Art Museum is an amazing art museum in Baltimore. I had never been in it until Dollar Days but was immediately impressed by the breadth of their collection.

In 1840, William Thompson Walters (1819-94) of Liverpool, Pennsylvania, arrived in Baltimore. Establishing a wholesale liquor house, by 1857 he had acquired the means to move with his family to Mount Vernon Place. He then began to patronize both local and New York-based artists. Following the outbreak of the Civil War, Walters took his family to Paris. While abroad, he was guided by a Baltimore expatriate, George A. Lucas, on visits to the artists' studios and museums.
