SECTION OF GRAPHIC ARTS. 155 



The Sewall Collectiou of Prints consists of 20,400 pieces, 4,100 of 

 which, however, mostly portraits, landscapes, etc., the owner does not 

 consider of sufficient importance to be named as an integral part of 

 the collection, although they will eventually go with it. Of the re- 

 maining 16,300 about 15,000 are engravings and etchings; 990, wood- 

 cuts; -310, mezzotints; and 170, lithographs (these latter mostly early 

 French, including specimens by Guerin, Gerard, Girodet, Delacroix, Do 

 la Roche, etc.). The collectiou (exclusive of the 4,100 prints above 

 alluded to) is arranged in 55 portfolios and 10 volumes. The number 

 of engravers, etchers, etc., represented in it is 1,400, exclusive of the 

 works of absolutely auonymous artists [i. e., artists not even known by 

 a monogram). 



The schools represented in it are the following : 



The Italian, from the invention of the art, and the German until 

 about 1850. 



The Dutch and Flemish, the French, and the English, from about 

 1500 to the nineteenth century. 



The Spanish, eighteenth and nineteenth century (Goya).
