Middle Column: “‘Exciting’”

This article profiles Lessing Rosenwald, a Philadelphia art collector and heir to the Sears-Roebuck fortune, who has amassed a vast collection of Rembrandt prints.

He concludes, “I love Rembrandt... because of the catholicity of his appeal. In his print making he ran the gamut of human life entire, depicting the highest as well as the most lowly.”
