Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Whitman's Print-Collector's Handbook: Sixth Edition, Revised and Enlarged With Additional Chapters
Then again, the French line-engravings of the later decades of the eighteenth century, which are also very meagrely represented in the British Museum, have in the last few years, come so prominently into collectors' favour, the demand for them is so great, and their market appreciation has consequently advanced to such a remarkable extent, that it seemed to me they could no longer be reasonably ignored in a general handbook of print-collecting. Accordingly I have dealt with them in an additional chapter.
