About this Item

A clean, unmarked book with a tight binding. Light wear to price-clipped dust jacket. 160 pages. "Do you think owning original works of art is beyond your means? Then you should read the Practical Guide to Print Collecting. The fact that prints -- etchings, lithographs, woodcuts, and other graphics -- are multiple originals makes it possible for many people to own them and brings their price into realistic proportions. While you may never own a Rembrandt oil painting, you might be able to afford an etching by this great artist. And, because of the steadily rising popularity and appreciation of prints, they can be an excellent investment. By learning to understand and evaluate prints, you will be in a position to make sound decisions when buying prints, protect your investment, and most important, enjoy the work of art more than ever. The Practical Guide to Print Collecting concentrates on the most practical as well as the aesthetic aspects of 'print learning.' Here is everything you need to know about prints and print collecting." [Blurb] Keywords: Relief, Intaglio, Planographic, Stencil Processes, Woodcut, Wood Engraving, Chiaroscuro, Etching, Aquatint, Drypoint, Mezzotint, Offset and transfer Lithography, Silk Screen, Serigraph, Screen Print.
