Comment:
The Kiowa Chronicle was sent on loan in April 1980 to the Fine Arts Museum of S. F. In return for the loan the paper conservation lab, Palace of the Legion of Honor, consented to remove the paper surface from the masonite board to which it had been attached at some time in the distant past. The calendar was returned in February 1982 newly framed and matted and removed from the masonite board." Photo: 15-21219, 15-767. Published: A Chronicle of the Kiowa Indians (1832-1892), UCLMA.
