Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Prints of the Eighteenth Century IN the following pages an attempt has been made to supply clear and reliable information likely to prove of use to those interested in French engravings of the eighteenth century. Up to the present no work written in English has appeared, dealing with the subject from the collector's point of View. The late Lady Dilke wrote with much erudition and artistic judgment of the French draughtsmen and engravers of the period, but her admirable work scarcely touched on the question of states, and made no attempt to discuss the decorative value of the various prints.
