"The most striking fact about this collection of seventy-three prints spanning a period of five centuries is its unqualified excellence. Here are superb examples of the work of Brueghel, Schongauer, Mantegna, Durer, Rembrant, and Blake on the one hand, and of Daumier, Manet, Cézanne, Ensor, Bonnard, Toulouse-Lautrec, Matisse, Braque, and Kandinsky on the other hand. It is, as Richard V. West points out in his Introduction, a remarkable fusion of connoisseurship and catholicity of taste."-- from dust-jacket autographed copy signed, "with best wishes, Donald Karshan."
