Scope and Contents
This subseries includes manuscript and typescript drafts of chapters, introductions, forewords and entries for dictionaries and encyclopedias.

Francis Watson, an expert on French painting and sculpture was to contribute the bulk of the text. Kimball began drafting the manuscript between late 1954 and early 1955, but was unable to finish it before his death. Manuscript and typescript drafts of chapters 1, 2 and 5, the introduction notes and bibliography of "Art and Architecture of France" are included in this subseries.
