Synopsis
Excerpt from Engravings and Their Value: A Guide for the Print Collector
The Valuation of Engravings, if it is to be accomplished satisfactorily, requires great technical knowledge and a thorough acquaintance with the market. NO amount of book-learning can ever compensate for a deficiency in practice, and the following pages are not written with the Object of promoting an impossibility. That the information contained in them may be useful in many respects, I do not, however, doubt.
As a rule, the works of living engravers have not been noticed, since the judgment on their labours yet remains to be pronounced.
I may conveniently mention here that that excellent and indeed indispensable work Of reference known to all collectors as Bryan's Dictionary, is specially noticed under the head of basan (f.) page 83, post.
