"There are histories of American painting and engraving, but 'Etching in America' is the first book devoted to this branch of our art. As a history, it records the subserviency of etching in the hands of our early engraver etchers, and the various influences leading to the late emancipation of etching as an art"--Preface, p. [vii].
