GENERAL PREFACE TO THE GRAPHIC ART SERIES
THERE are endless series of art books—and endless schools of art, endless
lecturers on art and art criticism. But so far as I know there are no
series of 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.
