Bertha E. Jaques and the Chicago Society of Etchers

During the first half of the twentieth century, the Chicago Society of Etchers played an extremely important role in revitalizing and popularizing the art of printmaking, which had almost vanished by the end of the nineteenth century. This volume explores the social and artistic context, particularly in Chicago, in which the Society thrived, and finally discusses the social factors and aesthetic revisions in American taste which brought about its demise.Patterson, Joby is the author of 'Bertha E.
