The image displays a catalogue of Rembrandt's prints arranged in chronological order based on the dates given by the prints themselves or the year of a dated print akin in style to the undated example. The catalogue aims to provide an idea of the course Rembrandt's art took in its development, noting that the prints are usually impossible to hang in a gallery in this exact order. The catalogue distinguishes important states of the prints where significant changes in the plate occurred. It references two catalogues: one by Bartsch (1797) and Hind (1923), with the initials H. and B. indicating the respective catalogue numbers. The text also mentions Arthur M. Hind's "Catalogue of Rembrandt's Etchings," which contains detailed data on each print, and Norton lectures that provide context on the etchings within Rembrandt's broader body of work.

The listed prints include:

  1. BEGGAR SEATED ON A BANK (H.11, B.174), signed in 1630, first state with uneven plate edges, from the P. Mathey collection.
  2. BEGGAR WITH A WOODEN LEG (H.12, B.179), circa 1630, first state with uneven edges, from the Berlin Museum and H. ten Cate collection.
  3. BEGGAR SEATED WARMING HIS HANDS AT A CHAFING DISH (H.8, B.173), circa 1630, second state with shading on the left side of the bundle, from the H. ten Cate and S. Barden collections.
  4. CHRIST AT EMMAUS: THE SMALLER PLATE (H.121, B.88), signed in 1634.
  5. REMBRANDT WITH PLUMED HAT AND LOWERED SABRE: THREE-QUARTER LENGTH; AFTERWARDS BUST IN OVAL (H.110, B.23), signed in 1634, third state reduced to a bust with the oval plate made regular.
  6. CHRIST AND THE WOMAN OF SAMARIA: AMONG RUINS (H.122, B.71), signed in 1634, first state with lines across the top of the plate.
  7. GIRL WITH HAIR FALLING ON HER SHOULDERS (THE 'GREAT JEWISH BRIDE') (H.127, B.340), signed in 1635, fourth state with the stonework at right divided by horizontal lines, from the Mariette and H. Weber collections.
