December igio
r HE finest reproductions in black and white ever produced were those made by the XVIII century mezzotint engravers or more properly "Scrapers". Their work translated the tones and values of the orig inals so perfectly that one even feels their color. To arrive at this result it required more than the ordinary mechani cal skill; they could not make use of a photograph, as they do to-day to assist them, for this process had not then been discovered. The increasing demand and consequent diminished supply of fine impressions has made it almost as difficult to procure certain examples as it is to secure the original paintings. NOTE—First impressions, Artists Proofs, number of ten less than 30 perfect copies, owing to the softness of the copper plates. In this epoch they were not steel faced; the discovery not being made until the early part of the XIX century. The exhibition we now have comprises many rare and beautiful impressions, impressions which one seldom sees outside of Museums, among them are duplicates fiom the British Museum Collection which we have been most fortunate in securing. The prices asked are such as they command in England and the continent. Someone very wisely remarked, "It is not the price, it is the being able to get the rare work". CATALOGUE
