Painting and Sculpture at Mission Santa Barbara- Baer, Kurt.- First edition

Washington, D.C.: Academyof American Franciscan History, 1955. Illustrated.-"Art work in the Old Missions was not merely ornamental. It was a visual aid employed in the Christian instruction of the Indians. The padres were always adding to the mission collections with appropriate foreign reproductions and pieces done by the natives themselves. With the secularization of the Missions and their gradual abandonment, more and more of these treasures found their way to Mission Santa Barbara, and it has become a rich depository of early California art." -from the dust jacket.
