    “James H. and Adeline [b. 1933] Anderson, consigned to Hirschl & Adler 1 (Probably 1969) [notes: 1 In July 1969, Anderson appears to have consigned the painting to Vose Galleries in Boston; their records mention a painting by Heade, "Moonlight on the Bay," with dimensions almost exactly the same as those of the CMA painting. This is almost certainly the CMA painting, as Theodore Stebbins, author of the Heade catalogue raisonné, notes that Heade painted only three moonlit scenes, and that the other two are significantly smaller in size. An inscription on the back of the CMA painting's stretcher reads, "7.29.69 J.H. Anderson," which may refer to the date Vose acquired the painting.  However, it apparently failed to sell, and it was returned to Anderson on August 8th.  He then consigned it to Hirschl & Adler later that year.]”
