Yes--it's at the U of Minn on the normal book shelves. In fact, John,
through my research I came across many mentions of Artigue and Fresson in
the old books. I'm not too clear on what the difference between the two are
because I haven't been researching that in particular.
Anyway, if you go to the University of Minnesota webpage and check under
their MnCat catalog, you can access all the books. I think the Annual was
from....late 1800's up to even 1947 I took notes out of.
