Excerpt from Modern Etchings and Their Collectors Last but not least, to a friend, who at my request has written the Introductory Chapter to this book, who is a lover of fine prints, and who has frequently helped me with advice on matters relating to them. The photogravure process which has been used for the illustrations was considered the most suitable for the particular etchings which have been reproduced. NO mechanical process can approximate original work. It would be lamentable if it did. This process, however, gives some idea Of the beauty of the originals without detracting from the skill of the Artists by too closely resembling original work.

Excerpt from Fine Prints The study of engravings, ancient and modern-of woodcuts, line engravings, etchings, mezzotints - has become by this time extremely elaborate and immensely complicated. Most people know nothing of it, and do not even realise that behind all their ignorance there is a world of learning and of pleasure, some part of which at least might be theirs if they would but enter on the land and seek to possess it. Few men, even of those who address themselves to the task, acquire swiftly any substantial knowledge of more than one or two depart ments of the study; though the ideal collector, and I would even say the reasonable one, whatever he may actually own, is able, sooner or later, to take a survey of the larger ground - his eye may range intelligently over fields he has no thought of annexing. From this it will be concluded - and concluded rightly - that the print-collector must be a Specialist, more or less. More or less, at least at the beginning, must he address himself with particular care to one branch of the study. And which is it to be?
