Issue J. M. W. TURNER' Description E N T H U S I A S T ART BOOKS & FINE ART We purchase Artist Estates as well as art libraries and our goal is to provide, through eBay, a constantly replenished veritable "candystore" of rare and out-of-print books, catalogs and fine art for the lover of American & European prints and paintings... The item you are bidding on is: J. M. W. TURNER Issue of FINE PRINTS, circa 1938, published by Alden Galleries, Kansas City, Missouri [ same publisher that published the famous Print Collector's Quarterly ], Softcover, 8vo size, Very Good condition [listing code numbers neatly noted in ink on front wrap]. This is one of a run of this publication which we are currently offering on eBay. Issues of this publication are each about 28-32 pages, illustrated with reproductions of prints, usually woodcut, lithograph and etching works, and printed on good quality paper. From the end of 1936 until the early 1940s, the format of these issues changed from more general articles about prints to a more marketing effective listing of actual prints, and they are notable for their exhaustive descriptions and the fact that each print offered is illustrated. Primarily they offer American or European artists of the time, and in some cases Old Master prints. These issues are also interesting since they chronicle the collapse, pricewise, of the fine print market from the bubble of the 1920s through the 1930s and 1940s. Each offers 60-75 works, ALL PRICED and all fully illustrated. This issue being offered is one of those post-1936 issues, and is a SPECIAL ONE ARTIST ISSUE devoted to the work of Turner, and specifically the Liber Studiorum group of print, which set the dealer had then recently purchased from the Reverend William MacGregor of England. 52 prints are illustrated and offered. RARE ephemera for the print collector and scholar. ********** See below for our COMBINED SHIPPING DISCOUNTS!
