PRINTS & LITHOGRAPHS (For prices, see Catalogue)
Only the images of the following 50 lithographs and prints are shown, not the entire sheet upon which they were printed with decorative titles. Titles are captioned, however, along with the year of printing, plus image sizes of the original prints and sheet trim dimensions. The reproductions here termed "prints" are special lithographs, lightly processed onto heavy linen paper allowing hand highlighting with aquarelle wash; "litho" designates a four-color lithograph made with no special process. Some of these lithos were made in open edition, others in limited editions. This and other information of interest to collectors is separately printed in the enclosed supplement.
