In the section devoted to Prints by Old Masters, the first two centuries of the development of the graphic arts in Europe is illustrated. Beginning with the early pictorial woodcuts of Germany, the progress of this art is traced through the great period of engraving in the early Biblical pictures, through its use as illustration in the xylographic text and type-printed books of the XV century, to its culmination during the early decades of the XV century, in the work of Durer and Holbein. The progress of engraving in the north of Europe is represented by such rare examples by the great masters of the art, as Lucas Van Leyden, and France's contribution is shown from the first important exponent of the art, by the rare engraved portraits by Masson and Nanteuil.
Parallel the development of the graphic arts in northern Europe, Italy's contribution is traced from the rare and beautiful prints of the School of Mantegna and the early engravings of the great masters of the Renaissance, to the great achievements of the Venetian school in the person of the great master, Rembrandt.

The rise of lithography, the development of the new methods of reproduction, the revival of the old methods, and the great achievements of the modern school are represented. The work of the great masters of the graphic arts from about 1850 to 1933, are surveyed.
