In the vast art collections of the Metropolitan Museum are represented the many nations of the world-virtually every civilization and epoch for the past 5000 years. It is without doubt one of the most outstanding visual reference libraries anywhere in existence. The Museum has felt increasingly the duty and desire to see these these Metropolitan Miniatures and in other ways-until it can fulfill the works of art made available to an increasing number of people-through critically needed function of a free, informal liberal arts college for this and coming generations. The miniature color reproductions of the twenty-four works of art included in Series I. are only the beginning of what is hoped may be an important national program of art education. With your support we shall hope to publish and distribute, ever more widely, further series of miniature reproductions until an entire cross-section of the Museum's galleries will have extended itself throughout the nation and the world. This Album provides a brief background description of each painting or object in Series I. And for those who would like to explore further into any of the periods or subjects found here, there is a general reading list provided on the last page.
