[1] Helen W. Henderson's opening comments in the brochure accompanying the 1943 exhibition _Jacob Eichholtz, 1776-1842, American Artist_ at the Philadelphia Art Alliance, report: "A peculiarly touching incident was a visit to the outskirts of Lancaster to see the collection of a grandniece of the painter's. She sat in her bower surrounded by these souvenirs of a rich past. A particularly charming phase of the artist's work is a series of small oval portraits on wood. Many of them are family portraits and we were fortunate in procuring four from her collection."
