Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, California Palace of the Legion of Honor presented The Printmaker: 1450–1950 in 1957. The exhibition’s recorded title sets out five centuries of printmaking. The documented selection includes early European prints and later works, preserving each particular museum object. Exact surviving examples are Mair von Landshut’s The Nativity (1499; engraving heightened with white and yellow on green prepared paper) and William Hogarth’s Simon Lord Lovat (1746; etching). The surviving museum histories establish only part of the checklist; exact opening and closing days remain unverified.
