One of the characteristics of modern fine printing is the presence of print-related art in books, such as wood engraving or lithography. Art students and professional artists alike can benefit from seeing print-related art the context of the book it was created for.

To find the work of individual artists, look up their name in an author search [last name first].

1. Go to the Library's catalog
2. Click on "Alphabetic Search"
3. Enter a name (e.g., "Moser, Barry," "Schanilec, Gaylord," "Baskin, Leonard," "Parker, Agnes Miller")
4. Click on "author"

Note words at the end of the artist's entry in the index, such as "etcher" or "wood-engraver" which will let you know what sort of art he or she contributed to the book.

Other types of searches are explained in other sections of this page.
