<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 3233235, member: 8267&quot;]As with any type of research, I try to find several <i>independent</i> sources that support the same conclusion. (But it is often difficult to figure out which internet sites are just copying one another.) I prefer the websites of museums where you can search their collections. They at least have more reliable provenance information, although even their catalog descriptions can be incorrect at times. The sites of specialty galleries can also be useful. I generally don&#039;t trust random auction, ebay or etsy descriptions, but if they add examples that are consistent with what I am finding in more reliable sources, all the better. Needless to say, a good collection of reference books is invaluable. But the internet is increasingly a source for good scholarly information, and really good for comparative image searches.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
