Not on viewWeb CommentaryIsabella worked with the Boston photographic firm Thomas E. Marr & Son, comprised of Thomas and his son Arthur, to document the museum's interiors. You can often see in these photographs Isabella's different iterations of the galleries from the museum's opening in 1903 to her death in 1924. In this image, you can see the Spanish Knight (S6e14) in the West Cloister. Isabella later moved it to the Spanish Chapel where it now resides.
