[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: “The Edward B. Greene Collection of Engraved Portraits and Portrait
Drawings at Yale University”

By Alice Wolf.
Published in New Haven by the Yale University Press in 1942.
Edition limited to 500 copies.

DISCUSSION: "The Greene Collection includes European engraved portraits
and portrait drawings from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, with
the German sixteenth century and the French engravings of the seventeenth
century best represented" (jacket blurb). Theodore Sizer, who wrote the
Preface, notes- "an attempt has been made to elucidate the less obvious
details. Armorial bearings and symbolic devices have been interpreted
poetical and explanatory inscriptions, except those in French, have been
translated in full." There is a cross-index of engravers.

DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 9.5"x12.5", 141 pages plus 35 plates with 44 black
& white illustrations, dust jacket.

CONDITION NOTES: The dust jacket is worn, torn and abused, and a large
portion of the rear panel is missing (please see the photos, above and
below). The book itself has some minor soil, but otherwise is clean and
nice, with a tight binding.

PRICE:  $60-
