I would recommend: Gilbert Davis Munger (1837-1903): Quest for Distinction Essays by J. Gray Sweeney, Michael D. Schroeder and Peter F. Spooner The first catalogue and major traveling exhibition devoted to this talented but overlooked American painter, who began his career at age 13 as an apprentice engraver for the Smithsonian Institution, and later accompanied the likes of Clarence King on exploratory expeditions in the U.S. west, where he worked out of studios in San Francisco for extended periods of time. Munger spent the years 1877-1893 in England, France, Italy and Spain, where his Hudson River Valley school, Western U.S., and later, Barbizon-inspired works found praise and a ready market, only to lapse into obscurity as he returned to the U.S. in his last decade. The exhibition and book document many works never before publicly seen.
