A History of Engraving and Etching (Dover Fine Art, History of Art)

An interesting and informative book. Not all images discussed are shown so I combine reading it with viewing more either from my own collection or on line. Print sellers and the National Gallery in Washington have much to see. The author was an amazingly well informed man with a vast amount of information on prints. I highly recommend the book.

This is an excellent reference work. A must for antique print collectors. It's value holds up no matter how much time goes by.

Although it's a fact and detail filled account of printmaking's history, it has not an ounce of analysis...and it's very hard to read. Very old "art history", devoid of any consideration of culture and/or intentions behind printmaking.

Molto prolisso con pochissime immagini nemmeno di alta qualità.E' scritto in modo molto classico e poco coinvolgente.Non lo consiglio

This book is still the go-to on engraving an etching. It was well worth buying because I find myself using returning to it all the time,
