Excerpt from Exhibition of Albert D�rer's Engravings, Etchings, and Dry-Points, and of Most of the Woodcuts Executed From His Designs: Selected From the Collection of Mr. Henry F. Sewall, of New York, and From the Gray Collection Belonging to Harvard College; Together With Eight Original Drawings From the Collection Von Franck; November 15, 1888, to January 15, 1889

OF all the artists whose names are in everybody's mouth, Durer 15 the one least understood. Max Allihn IS quite right when he says of some of his compositions that they may be fittingly likened to the sphinx of the old legend, for they attack every one who, either as critic or historian, or harmless wanderer, enters the realm of art, and propose to him their insolvable riddles. And if the truth were told, it would be found that all so attacked were vanquished, and that they ought to be counted among the dead.
