Curator's Note: The below 1960 catalog cover illustrates the work involved in showing many of the old catalog pages presented here. Fifty or sixty years ago, most people did not keep catalogs, and some of years show here are extremely rare, and some - like this one - are severely deteriorated, requiring meticulous reconstruction to get them back to their nearly-new condition.
