The illustrated Bartsch

"The Illustrated Bartsch collection offers more than 50,000 images of Old Master European prints (engravings, etchings, woodcuts, etc.) from the 15th Century to the early 19th Century, embodying the work of hundreds of printmakers.... The inspiration of general editor Walter L. Strauss (1922 - 1988), ...The Illustrated Bartsch is based on Adam von Bartsch's (1757-1821) authoritative but unillustrated catalog of old master prints. The digitized collection presently offers all of the images (scanned mostly from 5 x 7 in. black-and-white photographic prints, made directly from the original prints) and cataloging information found in this authoritative reference work"--Overview.
