Book Description
Excerpt from American Engravers Upon Copper and Steel General interest in the history, development, and study of American engraving seems to increase as we recede from the period when this art was practised, and approach the present age of reproduction by mechanical and photographic processes. Even the growing scarcity of the prints and their greatly increased cost do not seem to have deterred the collectors, but have rather added to their interest. In early American portraits, the hardness and crudity of our pioneer engravers are most apparent, and there is an absence of the grace and elegance about their work which characterized the Eighteenth Century engravers of Europe. To the collector, however, these possess a distinct historical value which is often lacking in the more finished and artistic productions, their very crudity of design and execution seeming to create a certain fascination which even their grotesqueness fails to dispel. Until the publication of the work on "American Engravers" by the late David McN. Stauffer, published by the Grolier Club of New York, in 1907, nothing in the nature of a comprehensive study of the work of American engravers, or a list of their prints, existed; the earlier book on the subject by William S. Baker, being only a collection of notes for future reference, and not a complete review of the subject. Mr. Stauffer's book was, therefore, virtually, a pioneer work in which he had endeavored to cover the field as completely as possible, and no praise is too great for the enthusiastic and painstaking manner in which he entered upon his task.

Book Description
Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Early American Engraving Upon Copper, 1727-1850 Until the late Mr. William S. Baker, in 1875, published his "American Engravers and Their Works," the existence of engravers upon copper in the American Colonies and States seems to have been persistently ignored by writers upon this branch of art. Volumes have been printed upon the engravers of Europe and of England, and the life and work of some of the most obscure among foreign engravers have been duly recorded; but the authors of these books fail to note that engravings upon metal was practiced in the American Colonies fully two hundred and fifty years ago; and that the work of some of the later American engravers in line is only surpassed by a few among the foreign master engravers. But, we must also admit that it is only within a comparatively recent period that Americans themselves have commenced to collect and to take an intelligent interest in the early engraved work of their own countrymen. So far as the earlier American prints are concerned there is sufficient ground for the seeming neglect to foreign writers upon engraving.
