Description:"This book, which attempts to illuminate the most important points in the history of printmaking in the twentieth century, is illustrated with works exclusively from the Museum's collection. Although there may be examples that would more succinctly characterize a movement, period or artists, those prints that have been reproduced are chosen from a collection that has no peer for its variety, breadth, and quality in the period it covers (circa 1885 to the present). The collection, which has had a prominent role in exhibitions and publications, has consequently become well known." --from preface by Riva Castleman
