English: Samuel Putnam Avery (1822-1904) was a New York-based art dealer and collector. In 1900, he donated his collection of prints to The New York Public Library in order to establish a Department of Prints, the first public print collection in New York City. This collection of nearly 18,000 prints, representing 978 artists, is especially rich in holdings of French printmakers, but also includes works by English, American, Spanish, German, Dutch and Belgian artists. At Avery's request, many of the artists inscribed their prints, which frequently appear in multiple, including rare or unique, impressions.

Description from NYPL, see bibliography.

As with other uploads from the NYPL, both TIFF and jpeg versions are uploaded where available as the jpeg is a "lossy compression" image but renders better thumbnails for Wikipedia articles and can be cropped using COM:CropTool, leaving the TIFF remaining as the full 'archive quality' version. Refer to project page.
