Notes Chapter One The epigraph is from AB to Richard Quick, Superintendent of the new Bristol Art Gallery and Museum of Antiquities, January 30, 1905, BRIS. 1. At the time Adela made her notations, accents weren’t used in the spelling of Chichen Itza, Ake, and Teotihuacan. When these words appear outside of her quotes, accents are used: Chichén Itzá, Aké, Teotihuacán. 2. For information about Elizabeth D’Arch Breton and the D’Arch/Darch family I am deeply grateful to Clifford Lewis III and his family for generously sharing their family papers and information about Adela and her relatives. Chapter Two The epigraph is from AB to George Byron Gordon, December 13, 1918, PA: American Section. 1. The correspondence of David Lewis and Mrs. William H. Breton is from the Clifford Lewis III family papers. 2. Correspondents, including Adela Breton often used the plus sign (+) for “and”; it is kept as written in the quotes. Chapter Three The epigraph is taken from AB to Miss Mead, July 29, 1904, HUA. 1. Agnes MacDonald, “By Car and By Cowcatcher,” Murray’s Magazine (1887): 215–35, 296–311. Chapter Four The epigraph is from Tozzer, Letters from the Field, Letter 18, Feb. 21, 1902, HarTL. Chapter Five The epigraph is from Tozzer, Letters from the Field, Letter 12, Feb. 15, 1902, HarTL. 1. Adela’s paintings are at Bristol’s City Museum & Art Gallery, England, and at the Victoria Art Gallery in Bath, England. In general, Bristol’s City Museum & Art Gallery has her later paintings (after 1890) and archaeological paintings, while the Victoria Art Gallery has her earlier paintings. (The Victoria Art Gallery collection, however, includes a few later paintings.) 211 ______________________________________ 212 Notes to pages 29–57 ______________________________________ Chapter Six The epigraph is from AB to Miss Mead, Mar. 26, 1909, HUA. 1. Readers interested in the Victorian women travelers might wish to read Spinsters Abroad by Dea Birkett (Basil Blackwell, Oxford, England, 1989), from which some of this material is drawn. 2. Ethel Brilliana Tweedie (Mrs. Alec Tweedie), Mexico as I Saw It (Hurst & Blackett, London, 1901). 3. Dr. Thomas Charlton relocated the obsidian source of Tecocomulco or Paredón, Adela had visited this site and subsequently wrote about it for the 1902 International Congress of Americanists. Dr. Charlton comments: The materials Breton collected, some of which are still in museums, are of value to archaeology, by complementing our present-day knowledge of sources and workshops in West Mexico and by possibly harboring materials from sources not yet found or studied. Certainly that was the situation re: the Tecocomulco source. (Personal communication) Chapter Seven The epigraph is from AB to Gordon, Jan. 9, 1917, PA: Director’s Office. 1. Dr. James Langley, “Adela Breton at Teotihuacán,” in The Art of Ruins, ed. Sue Giles and Jennifer Stewart (City of Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, England, 1989), 29. Dr. Langley kindly helped me ascertain the process and chronology of Adela’s work at Teopancaxco, sharing his knowledge and insights. 2. Eduard Seler, “Teotihuacan Frescoes and Some Mexican Pottery Objects,” Proceedings, Seventeenth International Congress of Americanists, Buenos Aires, 1910. Chapter Eight The epigraph is from AB to Putnam, June 19, 1904, HUA. 1. Adela Breton, “Some Mexican Portrait Clay Figures,” MAN vol. 8, publication of the Royal Anthropological Institute (RAI), 1903. 2. In her articles Adela rarely offers an analysis or conclusion .
