IMPRESSIONS/EXPRESSIONS Sylvia E. Diak, Librarian, The Winnipeg Art Gallery, 300 Memorial Boulevard, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Cana da R3C IVI writes: I am writing this letter for some assistance which I would like to obtain from you. Our Library is in the process of setting up an archive section. Our present concentraton is directed towards our publications of exhibition catalogues which were published by our Gallery.

I am interested to know the procedures in cata loging and storing of this valuable collection. Also, if you can provide us with material information on a bibliography list which would be pertinent guide line to setting up an archive section relating to "fine arts", in the area of exhibition catalogues.

Another concern of mine is to visit a Gallery library that would contain an established exhibition catalogue archive. If at all possible, could you please suggest a library that would be most organized in this area; a library which can be used as a study case for me to visit and observe.

Timothy Daumt Fine Arts Library, Ohio University Library, Athens, OH 45701, writes:

For a comprehensive bibliography of Impressionism (to be published next year), I would like any informa tion about little-known books or articles in non Western languages (especially Japanese and Chinese). Please send any listings to Timothy Daum at the above address.

Dave Mason, 1106 Cathedral Street, Baltimore, MD 21201 writes:

I have worked for several years to create a reaso nably complete collection of "good quality legal art." By this, I mean pictures, prints, and other items which have a special relationship to the law because they show or depict something about law yers, judges, courts, juries and/or justice. My collec tion is mostly complete now except that there are two gaps which I have, for sometime, been trying to fill. They are: The Lost Document by W. D??dy Sadler and Courting Trouble by Pears (Pears is the London soap company). Each of these is a print and I am, in each instance, seeking a copy which is either for sale or available for a brief loan, only long enough for it to be photographed.

Dendy Sadler did a series of nine legal subjects, and I have eight of them; The Lost Document is the only one which I need to complete the series. I've never seen it, only read about it. I have seen Courting Trouble', it shows a 19th century Englishman in a law library trying to use lawbooks. It was commissioned as a Christmas calendar by the Pe?rs Soap Company and many copies were made as original, hand-colored etchings. I believe that both prints were done slightly before the turn of the century.

We have plans to display this collection at a national lawyers meeting next year and would like to have it as complete as possible by then. I would appreciate any help which you might arrange in circulating this information.
