Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Engravings by Marc-Antonio Raimondi, His Pupils and Followers: To Be Opened on Saturday the Eighteenth of September, and to Last Until the End of October, 1909
I dare say that the work of marc-antonio, at least so far as fine impressions of capital plates are concerned, is far more scarce than even that of the Leyden Master. While five months of strenuous hunting and collecting in Europe enabled me to procure a representative display of the latter's work, I hardly think that five years would have been sufficient to do the same with the engravings of marc-antonio. In fact, I do not think that this would have been possible at all, had not a fortunate circumstance brought into my hands a collection which, especially as to quality of impression, can hardly be surpassed.
