TO PROFESSORS AND SUDENTS 
OF HISTORY, AND OF 
HISTORY OF ART. 
One of the best ways of making history live in 
the mind of the student is to illustrate it with 
pictures showing the masterpieces of art and ar¬ 
chitecture which have been left to us by other 
civilisations. 
The truth of this statement is especially appar¬ 
ent in the history of art, where it is necessary for 
the student to study the actual subjects about 
which he is reading or receiving instruction. 
' v,r . 
But in any case it is necessary to have at one s 
disposal abundant documentary evidence, which 
besides being absolutely accurate, is available at 
a minimum of cost. 
Our collection of prints is very} extensive, com¬ 
prising 3,000 subjects. 
It is absolutely accurate — the choice of sub¬ 
jects, and their descriptions having been made by 
University Professors. 
It is artistically correct — consisting of carefully 
photographed engravings of the subjects them¬ 
selves. 
These three qualities suffice to show their sup¬ 
eriority over chromo prints or postcards,which are 
frequently incorrectly inscribed, or shew an in¬ 
complete collection, even if the presentation of 
the subject is not frankly ugly. 
Their size makes them easy to handle, and 
they can, if necessary, be inserted between the 
pages of lesson-books so as to serve as a direct 
illustration of the text. 
Finally, the extremely /on? price of our prints 
permits of a large collection bei ng made by people 
who object to the high prices of illustrated text¬ 
books.
