Excerpt from The Print Collector: An Introduction to the Knowledge Necessary for Forming a Collection of Ancient Prints The study of art needs no apology. Man may sometimes acquire too much power, or too much money, for his own advantage or for the good of his fellow-men, but true art is like true religion - the more it is cultivated the richer are the heart and mind of its possessor. Should it not beget wisdom, it will increase knowledge; and these, if not twin brothers, are very closely related. There are good and bad systems of religion, as there are true and false forms of art, and a consideration of this analogy might be followed up with profit, to the edification of some people, and to the incredulity and disapprobation of others. In this new country, where for the last one hundred years utility has been the predominant idea, I have often wondered why the poetic mind of the age has not created a goddess of Utility, to whom we might render homage similar to that paid in the olden time at the shrines of the goddesses of Wisdom, Beauty, and Riches. We know that art in its highest forms is capable of inspiring the purest of religious sentiment, but this is only a portion of what it has done for the world in the past, and is capable of doing for us now. In all real art there is something which the lowliest person may partake of and enjoy; just as art may be found, and does exist, in the lowliest and simplest forms and detail.

Outstanding Academic Title, Choice, 2015 Winner, Ewell Newman Award of the American Historical Print Collectors Society, 2016 In 1849 the Smithsonian purchased the Marsh Collection of European engravings. Not only the first collection of any kind to be acquired by the new Institution, it was also the first public print collection in the nation, and it presented an important symbol of cultural authority. The prints formed part of the library of Vermont Congressman George Perkins Marsh (1801-1882), a member of the Smithsonian’s Board of Regents. The uncertainty of the Smithsonian's mission in the early years complicated its motivation for purchasing the collection, especially given Marsh’s position as a Regent in financial difficulty. After a serious fire in 1865, portions of the collection were deposited at the Library of Congress and the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Efforts to reclaim it began in the 1880s, as a new generation of Smithsonian staff expanded the National Museum, but they achieved only mixed success. Through the story of the Marsh Collection, the book explores the cultural values attributed to prints in the 19th century, including their prominent role in expositions and their influence on visual culture at a time when collecting styles were moving from an individual’s private contemplation of artworks to wider public venues of exposition in museums and reception by multiple audiences. The history of this first Smithsonian collection enlivens an important stage in the development of American cultural identity and in the formation of the Smithsonian as a national institution.
