Highlights include superb etchings by Canaletto and Tiepolo; the four volumes of Piranesi's "Antiquities of Rome" as well as his famous "Vedute" (Views) and "Carceri" (Prisons); Goya's "Tauromaquia" in its first edition of 1816; an extremely rare etching by Edgar Degas; and numerous other 19th-century French prints, by Eugene Delacroix, Honore Daumier, E douard Manet, Paul Gauguin, Paul Cezanne, and others. The accompanying essays discuss the life of Arthur Ross, a significant philanthropist who funded several arts institutions; the formation of the collection and the art-historical significance of the works; and several thematic approaches to studying the collection, reinforcing its legacy as an important teaching resource." - Publisher.
