They have also discovered and recorded numerous others of great historical and artistic importance. Mrs. Munson is regarded as a leading authority on the subject in this country. Two years ago she achieved some prominence by tracking down in Liverpool a counterfeiter of wax miniatures who signed them with the name of Rouse and dated them in eighteenth century. A number of his works had sold at high prices in New York auction rooms. One of these "fake" miniatures is included in the exhibition of the Munson collection at the Arden Galleries on Park Avenue.
