The Gray collection of engravings has been mounted and will soon be at the service of students interested in works of famous German and Italian artists of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

This valuable collection comprises both metal and wood engravings; and is of the most rare nature, being the original works of great artists, who engraved their own designs.

Among the masters whose works comprise the collection are: Martin Schongauer, Albrecht Durer, Lucas Van Leyden, and Rembrandt Van Ryn. The works of these artists complete the German and Netherland collection.

Of the Italian artists represented the most important are: Andrea Mantegua, Marc Antonio Rainmondi, Boldini, Giovanni Antonio, and Robetta. One whole case is given up to the "Liber Studiorum" of Turner and beside these are placed some valuable etchings by Claude Lorraine. There are some beautiful impressions by Durer from "The Melencolia," "The Great Fortune," and "The Shield and Skull." In addition to these are his portraits of Melanchthon, Piekheimer and Erasmus. These are all metal engravings. Among the wood engravings by Durer are a number from "The Great Passion," and "The Little Passion," which are two of his most valuable series of wood cuts.

Attention should be called to the etchings of Rembrandt, among which are the famous dry-points of "The Burgomaster Six," "The Blind Tobit," and "The Three Trees"

The whole collection is very rich in works of this kind, and an unusual opportunity is offered to students who whish to study them. Tables have been placed near the collection which will be under the charge of an assistant.
