30 books in 4 inches

Graphic Arts Collection Hamilton 1429s

Sinclair Hamilton writes, “Many of these [woodcuts] will be found in the 1807 edition of The Looking Glass for the Mind, the cuts in which are probably all by [Alexander] Anderson and follow generally his cuts in the 1795 edition of the same book. Some of the cuts in the present volume bear his initials. Indeed it seems likely that Anderson was responsible for the majority of the engravings in these 30 tracts.”
