Excerpt from Catalogue of Etchings and Dry Points by Rembrandt: Selected for the Exhibition at the Grolier Club of the City of New York, April-May, 1900 The purpose of the present exhibition is to show fine impressions of as many as possible of the important examples of the etched work of Rembrandt, and to illustrate adequately both his range and power in etching. It is not for lack of material that the display is limited in numbers. While a complete exhibition of original impressions is impossible, yet from the private collections generously placed at the service of the Club, a more extended exhibition could have been made. The result, however, would not have been more representative of the artist's work. As is generally known, wide differences of opinion exist among recognized authorities concerning the genuineness of certain prints attributed to Rembrandt. The discussion which has followed the agitation of the subject by Sir Francis Seymour Haden, has led to the definite exclusion of a large number of etchings included in the earlier catalogues. Regarding others, the work of investigation and criticism still continues. Bartsch, in 1797, placed the total number of etchings and dry points by Rembrandt at 375.
