Remember
that there are parts of what it
most
concerns you to know which
I
cannot
describe to you;
you
must come with me
and see for yourselves. The vision is for
him
who will
see
it.-Plotinus
NEw YoRK,
1943
Copyright by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1943
The writer desires to thank all those who have helped him
in
his task,
and
especially Alice Newlin
and
Jean Leonard, Roberta Fansler and
A. Hyatt Mayor, for their most valuable criticisms of the text. The excel-
lent photographs reproduced on pages
16, 24, 25,
and
36
were made from
existing negatives by the Museum's photographers.
The most important part of the Museum's collection of prints was
removed from the Print Room shortly after December
7,
1941,
at
a time
when the negatives for this book had been made but the preparation of
the text and the enlargements had still to be done. Because of this, various
comparisons and verifications have been impracticable.
