The collotype plates have been produced under the superintendence of Dr. Lippmann, at the Imperial Press of Berlin, while, in addition to the above reproductions, there will be about as many subsidiary illustrations in the text, executed by Messrs. W. H. Ward and Co. These smaller pictures are taken partly from contemporary works of sculpture, painting, and architectural decoration, selected in order to illustrate the special artistic influences which surrounded and inspired the Master of the Chronicle Series, partly from certain drawings and engravings which can be proved or surmised to be by his own hand."-The Morning Post. "The whole of the drawings themselves are admirably reproduced in photographic facsimile, the work having been done by the Imperial Press in Berlin, under the superintendence of Dr. Lippmann. The book is to be welcomed as a serious and important contribution to the history of art. Primarily indeed it is merely an attempt to fix the authorship of certain drawings, but incidentally it calls back to life an artist who had almost faded into myth, while it throws new light upon many sides of the artistic activity of Florence at the most interesting moment of her history."-The Times, October 13th, 1898. The thanks of all students of Florentine art are due to Mr. Colvin for having once and for all defined, not only the real nature of these drawings and engravings, but 259 Florence Gallery.
