Excerpt from Hand Book to Exhibition of Line Engravings After Water Color Drawings The prints, after the works of Turner, here brought together are lent by Mr. Francis Bullard '86, and have been selected by him from his own large collection. They are nearly all proof impressions, and some are trial proofs touched by Turner's hand to indicate desired corrections. The modern art of line engraving reached its supreme excellence in England during the early part of the nineteenth century, and, as Mr. Bullard has stated in the accompanying introductory essay, this excellence was largely due to Turner's personal influence. Since Turner's death the recognition of his genius has steadily grown, and the high esteem in which it is now held is not likely to diminish in the future. By the range of his creative imagination, his powers of design, his quick discernment of the essential and expressive characteristics of form, and his unexampled rendering of effects of light and space, he has exalted landscape painting to the rank of highest art. Turner's art embraces, in balanced development, as far as the means of art permit, all of the qualities which in nature make up our visual impressions, but after which other landscapists have striven more or less singly.

Excerpt from The Engraved Work of J. M. W. Turner, R. A, Vol. 2: Line Engravings on Steel; Mezzotints; Aquatints, Plain and Coloured; Lithographs and Chromo-Lithographs During these four years there have been changes in the ownership of some of the rarer engravings, and of many of the drawings described here. Some of these changes are noted, but the very important Sale of the collection of the late J. E. Taylor at Christie's in July 1912 came too late to allow of the alterations which it involved being recorded, except in the case of one Series.
