A CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF REMBRANDT'S ETCHINGS

Arranged according to the author's complete catalogue in Rembrandt's Etchings, an Essay and a Catalogue (Methuen, 1912), which follows the chronological arrangement of the collection in the British Museum. Numbers that are obelised (†) are plates of doubtful authenticity; starred numbers (*) refer to plates not represented in the British Museum. Conjectural dates are cited within brackets. Except for Nos. 144 (frontispiece), 139 and 164 (on same plate as No. 40), and 196 (on same plate as No. 175), the etchings reproduced (entirely from the British Museum collection) are given in the order of this catalogue, so that plate numbers have been dispensed with. The Roman numerals following the catalogue numbers in the underlines to the plates refer to the states of the etchings as described in the complete catalogue. B. = Bartsch.
