Description:"The title, 'The Romance of Fine Prints' is so completely imagination-provoking that it becomes a question not of how it can be interpreted, but of what can be omitted in order to hold the story within the compass of a reasonable number of pages. For us the romance of prints has two separate and distinct manifestations- the collecting and the making of prints."-- from 'Romance in the Making of Prints' by Dorothy Noyes Arms Table of Contents: Romance in the making of prints, by Dorothy Noyes Arms.--The story of Dürer's Ganda, by Campbell Dodgson.--The new Windsor castle bookplates by Stephen Gooden, by Campbell Dodgson--Corridas in aquatint, by Paul Gardner.--Piranesi's Farewell to Venice: the grotesques, by Winslow Ames.--The enchanted barn, by Asa Cheffetz.--An amateur of prints, by Edwin De T.
