The etchings of Rembrandt

Hamerton, Philip Gilbert, 1834-1894, Binyon, Laurence, 1869-1943. Dutch etchers of the seventeenth century · 1896 · London, Seeley and Co. · 26 pictures

Philip Gilbert Hamerton and Laurence Binyon's 1896 London study of Rembrandt's etchings, published by Seeley and Co., written for art students and collectors of prints. Its pictures are reproduced line engravings of Rembrandt's etchings, showing biblical scenes, beggars and genre figures in dense hatched shadow and loose contour, a model for designers wanting expressive cross-hatching and dramatic light falling through archways.
