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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Whitman's Print-Collector's Handbook: Sixth Edition, Revised and Enlarged With Additional Chapters Every student of old prints, be he collector or not, who has during late years made use of the British Museum Print Room - and who in London could possibly study the work of the old engravers without its aid? - must have felt he had lost a valued friend when Alfred Whitman died. So kindly and helpful a guide was he, so glad and ready always to give generously of his extensive knowledge, suggesting to the student the right direction for his research, assisting to train the would-be collector in the way he should go, and clearing that way of the inevitable false scents. It was in that kindly spirit, with that helpful purpose, he designed and wrote his 'Print-Collector's Handbook'; but that was some twelve years ago, and, since then, there have been many important developments in the domain of print-collecting, developments with regard to which the 'Handbook,' of course, offered no guidance. Although the publication had received the encouragement of a wide and continuous appreciation, justifying several editions, Whitman himself recognized the limitations of his book, and looked forward to amplifying it in accordance with the needs of a new generation, and a greater variety, of collectors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engraving and Etching: A Handbook for the Use of Students and Print Collectors The following history of the art of engraving closes approximately with the beginning of the nineteenth century. The more recent developments of the art have not been included, for the advent of steel-engraving, of lithography, and of modern mechanical processes has caused so wide a revolution in the reproductive arts that nineteenth-century engraving appears to require a separate history of its own and an entirely different treatment. The illustrations are all made to the exact size of the originals, though in some cases a detail only of the original is reproduced.
