The photographic collection of Elizabeth E. Gardner (1915-1985), curator in the Department of European Painting at the Metropolitan Museum, New York, consists of 60 monochromatic photographs, mostly from the Alinari and Anderson studios. The reproductions are of works of art by the Ferrara School, primarily Cosmè Tura, Ercole de' Roberti and Galasso Galassi. The collection entered the archives of the Institute of Art History in 2011 at the same time as the acquisition of the American scholar's book collection.
