LIST OF WORKS IN THE NEW YORK PUBLIC THEIR PRODUCTION BY DR. FRANK Weitenkampf, Chief, Art and PRINTS DIVISION I. PRINTS AS ART PRODUCTS II. APPLICATIONS OF THE REPRODUCTIVE GRAPHIC ARTS The object of the list, naturally and primarily, is to show what the Library has of the literature of a subject the interest in which is steadily increasing. Incidentally, also, it indicates our wants, some of which, at least, are apt to represent books of such rarity that only through the help of private collectors will they come to the Library's shelves. The list is divided into two sections. The first, intended for the amateur and student of prints, includes the general subject of prints produced by etching, engraving and lithography. The second appeals to those interested in various practical "Applications" of the reproductive graphic arts to the production of book-illustration, book-plates, portraits, caricature, playing-cards, posters, and various other specialties, such as menus, programmes, titles and visiting cards. It also includes the books on the various photomechanical processes which play so important a rôle to-day. The line of demarcation, of course, cannot be drawn absolutely. Thus, Lithography, in Section I, includes practical applications. This list does not include articles in magazines or portions of books, although they are often valuable and even indispensable. Much material on individual artists, in fact, is to be found only in that form. It has been excluded from this list, but all such material which we have been able to find has been listed in our card catalogue and is therefore available. Also, this is a list of books about prints, not of books of prints. Bound collections of prints are therefore not included, excepting when the prints directly form illustrations to text. Thus, J. S. Cotman's "Liber Studiorum" is excluded, while "Works of Hogarth," with text by Nichols, is included. I. PRINTS AS ART PRODUCTS BIBLIOGRAPHY Bohn, Henry G.
