"The reader will understand that this is not a guide to the collector
or student of old prints. It is an imaginative appeal in favor of
certain supposed meanings found by the author in prints which he
loves. It is a fascinating pursuit to read into works of art meanings
which they can be made to contain, but it is better art criticism,
and on the whole more instructive, to try hard to ascertain what
was the artist's meaning. As regards the archæological study of the
art of engraving, Mr. Ruskin has never given thought to such study,
hence his statement of facts is generally open to objection." Russell
Sturgis.
