Download or read book The Print-Collector's Handbook (Classic Reprint) written by Alfred Whitman. This book was released on 2017-09-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Print-Collector's Handbook IN the following pages an attempt is made to supply answers to some of the many questions that a number of years' experience has shown to be those most frequently asked by art amateurs at the commencement of their print-collecting, and also by those who have devoted some time and attention to the pursuit of their hobby. In consequence of the limitation of a single volume like the present one, it has been thought best to refrain from commenting upon the etchings and engravings of living artists whose place in art is not yet definitely fixed. Most of the illustrations have been made by the half-tone process; but in order that collectors may more closely examine the actual technique of the different methods of engraving, specimens of the various styles have been reproduced in collotype. In this latter process no screen or visible foreign grain intervenes to impair or destroy the texture of the original work, and the results are therefore as faithful as a mechanical process will yield. These collotype reproductions can be easily identified by reference to the List of Illustrations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Whitman's Print-Collector's Handbook: Sixth Edition, Revised and Enlarged With Additional Chapters Then again, the French line-engravings of the later decades of the eighteenth century, which are also very meagrely represented in the British Museum, have in the last few years, come so prominently into collectors' favour, the demand for them is so great, and their market appreciation has consequently advanced to such a remarkable extent, that it seemed to me they could no longer be reasonably ignored in a general handbook of print-collecting. Accordingly I have dealt with them in an additional chapter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Print Collector: An Introduction to the Knowledge Necessary for Forming a Collection of Ancient Prints In this new country, where for the last one hundred years utility has been the predominant idea, I have often wondered why the poetic mind of the age has not created a goddess of Utility, to whom we might render homage similar to that paid in the olden time at the shrines of the goddesses of Wisdom, Beauty, and Riches.
