It covers 18th century mezzotint portraits, 19th century sporting aquatints and topographical views, and "original" etchings and lithographs in the 20th century. Since msot prints in this period were either signed "in the plate" of individually signed in ink or pencil by the artist, it provides a means to identify a printmaker, look up the concise biographical summary and ascertain the printmaker's range of work and relative stature, as well as obtain some idea of the likely value of the works.
