From Library Journal

This is the very thorough catalog of a major international show of Rembrandt's prints that resulted from combining holdings at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the British Museum in London. Written by leading experts from both countries, it is sure to become the new standard, not because of radical analysis or unorthodox approach but because of its completeness. Although there is some new information based on "soft" paper radiography, the authors openly acknowledge their debt to earlier catalogs. Despite the title, the book focuses more on the prints themselves and how they were made than on biography. However, much can be extracted from learning precisely how this artist went about his craft. Though filled with clear, excellent illustrations, this well-documented book has much technical detail that will be of greater interest to printmakers and art historians than casual readers. Still, this is an important reference for libraries of all kinds and is highly recommended for academic and art school libraries. Susan Lense, Upper Arlington P.L., OH
