Three books on prints and printmakers-

Lewis, C.T. Courtney. GEORGE BAXTER, THE PICTURE PRINTER. London; Sampson, 
Low, Marston and Co.:nd. (ca.1920). Edition limited to 1000 copies. A 
massive biography and catalog and description of Baxter prints, those 
wonderful, period works of the late-Regency and early/mid Victorian 
world.  Hardcover.   7.5"x10", 608 pages plus 16 color and 64 b&w plates; 
light cover wear, preliminary pages with some soil and browning; lightly

Hind, Arthur M. WENCESLAUS HOLLAR AND HIS VIEWS OF LONDON AND WINDSOR IN 
THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY.  London; John Lane The Bodley Head: 1922. An aging 
though still-standard reference on this famed 17th century engraver. Slater 
notes- "Notwithstanding the fact that Hollar worked industriously all his 
life and possessed artistic genius of the highest order, he died in a state 
of destitution. It is said that he used to work for the booksellers at the 
rate of 4d. an hour by the glass, and was so scrupulously honest and 
methodical in all he did that he prevented the sand from running even when 
talking to his employer on his own business matters". Hardcover. 8.5"x11", 
92 pages + 65 b/w plates illustrating 96 views; covers somewhat worn, some 
internal foxing. [07541] $60.00 net.



Schretlen, M.J. & M.J. Friedlaender. DUTCH AND FLEMISH WOODCUTS OF THE 
FIFTEENTH CENTURY.  Boston; Houghton Mifflin Company: 1925. The author 
writes- "it (is) strange that so little attention should have been paid to 
the Dutch woodcuts of the 15th century... the art of woodcutting of that 
period flourished in a very remarkable and characteristic way in the 
Netherlands. It was a living art in the truest sense of the word, and 
though it appears to have originated directly from the art of miniatures... 
it still reveals an intense life of its own everywhere." The only serious 
study of the subject prior to this one was Conway's in 1884 which, as 
Schretlen points out, has the unforgivable defect (for a book about prints) 
of lacking any illustrations!  Hardcover. 9.5"x13", viii + 71 pages, plus 
84 b/w plates. A fine, bright, clean, crisp copy. [00251] $100.00 net.
