Table of contents: title: The University of Maryland, Baltimore County Library, edition of David Driesbach's work (1979) is the first of two retrospective exhibition catalogs of the artist's work with principle essays by Professor Jerry D. Meyer.  The second retrospective catalog, a much more comprehensive look at the artist's work, was published by the Northern Illinois University Art Museum, DeKalb, IL, in 1991, on the eve of Driesbach's retirement from NIU's School of Art.  Both the earlier catalog (1979) and the later one have essay's by Professor Meyer based primarily on extensive interviews with the artist during which the iconography of the artist's prints is discussed in relationship to his life experiences and the influence of other artists on his work.  Professor Meyer, a colleague of Driesbach's at NIU, worked with the artist on several special exhibitions devoted to the work of contemporary printmakers with catalogs edited by Dr. Meyer for the occasions during Driesbach's tenure in NIU's School of Art.
