Excerpt from Lithography and Lithographers: Some Chapters in the History of the Art
There are endless series of art books - and endless schools of art, endless lectures on art and art criticism. But so far as I know there are no books on the graphic arts, written or edited, by graphic artists. This series is intended to be a survey of the best work in the past - the work that is admitted to be worth studying - and a definite statement as to the best methods of making drawings, prints, and engravings, written in every case by those who have passed their lives in making them.
