The curator wishes to thank the lenders to the exhibition and the Frances IMood WiIson Foundation
for its financial support. Special
appreciation is due to Frances Forbes Heyn, who first encouraged the idea of an exhibition of her aunt's work at the Georgia Museurn of
Art, and shared her recollections
and knowledge
of
the artist. Lucy Forbes Shevenell was extremely generous with her time, advice, and collection
of
documents relating to Stanton and her time in Boston. The staffs of the Hargrett Rare Book and
Manuscript Library at the lJniversity of Georgia and the Special Collections and Archives of Ernory
IJniversity's Robert IM. Woodruff Library provided access
to original docurnents and invaluable assis-
in research for the project. My colleagues at the Georgia Museum of Art cooperated and assisted in all stages of planning and realization of the tance
project. I arn particularly grateful to Williarn U. Eiland, director, for the privilege of organizing the exhibition and its pubiications, and
for his continuous support.
