From Library Journal:
These two works cover essentially the same period in distinct ways. Both catalogs were written by staff at the sponsoring institution, but the Harvard publication has fuller discussions, a better-developed critical apparatus, and a broader scope than the Met's. As the catalog of one privately formed collection, Harvard's work has a unity of vision in its contents, while the Met's combines well-known drawings held by various institutions with many less familiar sheets from private collections. Harvard's catalog is arranged by artist's birth date, the Met's chronologically and thematically. Plates in both titles are very good. Although both books would work well in most public and academic art history collections, the Met catalog would be more appropriate for the general reader at a public library. The Harvard catalog, which contains excellent indexes of former owners, artists' subjects, and the like, is better suited to the serious academic researcher in a university.AJack Perry Brown, Art Inst. of Chicago Lib.
