Passaic Meadows (In The Newark Meadows) by Thomas Moran	The American Art Review. A Journal Devoted to the Practical theory, History, and Archaeology of Art:: Inspired by the European etched art of James McNeill Whistler, Charles Meryon, Sir Francis Seymour Haden and others, a large number of American artists became seriously interested in the art of etching by 1875. A primary catalyst to the etching revival in America was the journal, American Art Review (1879-1881). Founded and edited by Sylvester Rosa Koehler it commissioned American artists for original etchings. Contributing etchers included such famous artists as Thomas and Peter Moran, Otto Bacher, J. M. Falconer, Robert Swain Gifford, Henry Farrer, Samuel Colman, John Foxcroft Cole and James D. Smillie and many others. Due mostly to its lavish production costs the journal lasted only slightly over two years. The finely printed etchings it produced, however, served as a cornerstone for the many great American etchings of the early twentieth century.
Anna Karenina in Hollywood by Warren Newcombe	American Artists Group: During the years of the Great Depression the American Artists Group was a leading publisher of original lithographs and woodcuts. Artists such as Warren Newcombe, Alan Lewis, Emil Ganso and many others were commissioned for works of art. Prints commissioned by the AAG were not hand-signed nor numbered in specific editions but it is known that the publishers usually printed only two hundred s from the stone or woodblock.
Fairbank's Fairy Calendar by the Fairbank's Fairy Soap Company	American Lithographic Company: Born of English parents in Quebec City, Napoleon Sarony learned lithography from his father and emigrated to New York in 1836. There, he worked as an apprentice for several lithographers, including Nathaniel Currier. In 1846 Sarony opened a lithographic business in partnership with Henry Major. The company went through a number of alterations in names and partnerships. Until 1853, it was called 'Sarony and Major'. From 1853 to 1857, it bore the title which appears on this original lithograph, 'Sarony & Company'. From 1857 to 1864, the company name was expanded to, 'Sarony, Major & Knapp'. Later, the company would assume the title of the 'American Lithographic Company', and became the largest such business in North America

Jeunes Ais by Jacques E. de Seve	Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon: The lengthy name of Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon is easily one of the most famous in the art of natural history. Beginning his career as both a mathematician and as a philosopher, Buffon turned to the study of the natural world in his early forties. Appointed by the King as Superintendent of the Royal Gardens in Paris, Buffon based his researches upon its extensive collections. the first volume of his monumental, Histoire Naturelle, Generale Et Particuliere, avec la Description du Cabinet du Roi, appeared in 1749. Publication continued throughout the rest of his life and the enterprise was so successful that volumes continued even after his death in 1788. Various 'Suites a Buffon' appeared in every major European nation. The art of natural history had been forever changed.
A Fleury, Seine-et-Marne by Theophile Narcisse Chauvel	Cadart: Through the years, Alfred Cadart's firm entered into various partnerships, producing changes to the name of the firm.

The New York Beauty by Currier & Ives	Currier & Ives: The Currier and Ives legend began in 1836 when a young Nathaniel Currier (1813 - 1888) opened his 152 Nassau Street office in New York. During the following decade the lithographic business grew, with Currier and his artists issuing prints to cover a vast range of scenes to interest America. The images were all created for the rapidly growing and increasingly prosperous American public. In 1852, a young bookkeeper, James Meritt Ives (1824 - 1895) was hired by Currier.
