Dr. Henry Barton Jacobs (1858-1939) was a prominent Baltimore physician, philanthropist, and cultural figure associated with Johns Hopkins. He prepared and privately published this catalogue to document the collection of Mary Frick Jacobs, reflecting the refined European tastes of early 20th-century American collectors and contributing to the documentation of private art holdings in the United States. Mary Frick Jacobs (1871-1939) was a Baltimore philanthropist and art collector, best known for assembling a refined collection of European Old Master paintings, eighteenth-century French and English works, and decorative arts. She was part of a prominent Maryland family connected to civic and cultural life in Baltimore during the early twentieth century. Her collecting reflected the taste of American elites of the period, with a particular appreciation for eighteenth-century French masters, English portraiture, fine tapestries, Sèvres porcelain, and Chinese jades. The 1938 privately printed catalogue prepared by Dr. Henry Barton Jacobs documents her collection shortly before her death.
