1998162038Washington: National Gallery of Art 1998. Hardcover. VG. Illus. boards with crimson spine; 253 pp. BW illus. A compilation of information "about watermarks in the papers used by Rembrandt. The vast extent of the corpus of Rembrandt's printed work -- the sheer number of surviving works on paper -- lends itself to such a far-reaching study. The authors have relied on the precise information now available in radiographic images to verify the accuracy of the watermarks in question and they have organized their material and presented it in a format that is easily accessible to the researcher. Perhaps even more important than its uses for Rembrandt print research is that the methodology developed in preparign this book might well become a model or even a stimulus for similar projects on other artists in the future." foreword.

1988174124Columbia MO: University of Missouri Press 1988. Hardcover. VG/VG- light fading to dust jacket at spine. Gray cloth boards with gilt spine lettering. Glossy gray and illustrated dust jacket with purple lettering. ix 112 pp. BW illustrations. Thomas Stothard 1755-1834 was probably the most prolific illustrator of his times executing designs for everything from landscape sculpture and history painting to ceramics silverwork and book illustration. The resounding popularity of his art attests to the extent to which his decorative style and sentimental subject matter appealed to a wide range of his contemporaries. The general spread of his fame and the rise of his prices must be measured against this background. His sentimental art is a challenge to the accepted notion that political artists produce only" tough" art. An account of Stothard's life in particular of the special nature of his relation to his employers reveals the increasingly complex role of the artist in an industrial society.
