HOWARD C. LEVIS has followed up
his “Bibliography of American Books
Relating to Prints” (1910) with his
long-expected “Descriptive Bibliogra-
phy of the Most Important Books in
the English Language Relating to the Art and
History of Engraving and the Collecting cf Prints”
(London: Ellis, 1912). In a manner that is as
informal and personal as a bibliography can be,
the reader is taken through the English literature
of the subject, from the earliest scattered refer-
ences to the process of etching, to the latest hand-
books and monographs.
Mr. Levis combines the antiquarian interest,
which has led him to ferret out various very early
descriptions of processes in etching and engraving,
with the critical appreciation that enables him to
write authoritatively of the later and latest vol-
umes on etching, engraving and kindred processes.
Incidentally, he has chapters also on portraits,
colored prints, collectors’ marks, sporting prints,
and one on “poetry and songs about prints.”
The activity of the United States in this spe-
cialty of publication is appreciatively recorded.

The book, with its twenty-six chapters
devoted to various phases of the sub-
ject, reflects the author’s point of view
and also his flair and perseverance as
a collector of the literature of which
he writes.

bition of the New York Water Color

the American Fine Arts Society, 215

passed that exhibitors must not use

clusive of mats.
