William Trost Richards: Hieroglyphs of Landscape is a 2019 exhibit at the McMullen Museum of Art, Boston College which says: "An accompanying scholarly catalogue, edited by Jeffery Howe, contains essays by Ethan F. Baxter, Rebecca Bedell, Linda S. Ferber, Howe, and James D. Wallace. The writers probe the artist's background and psychology, illuminating links between his works and the artistic, geologic, and philosophical currents of his era." The E-book catalogue is available without charge on the museum website. "In conjunction with William Trost Richards: Hieroglyphs of Landscape, the McMullen Museum invited premier scholar on William Trost Richards, Linda S. Ferber, Director Emerita and Senior Art Historian of the New-York Historical Society, to examine the arc of Richards's career and the artist's ability to respond to changes in taste and emerging scientific interests." The video is also available on the website. Accessed 4/22
