Excerpt from Report on the Paintings of the T. B. Walker Art Collections The seeker of the beautiful, whose knowledge of art is based in the main upon the great treasures of European Galleries would, I am sure, receive many startling surprises upon his first visit to the Walker Galleries in Minneapolis; a private gallery generously opened to the public daily, yet is far from being as well known as the great museums on this Continent and abroad, whose names are constantly on people's lips.

Catalogue d'une belle collection d'estampes anciennes et modernes, gravées à l'eau-forte et au burin, par des peintres et graveurs italiens, allemands, flamands, hollandais, français et anglais, premières épreuves avant la lettre, ou avec remarques, et de quelques dessins, provenant du cabinet de M. R***, dont la vente se fera les lundi 8, mardi 9, mercredi 10 avril 1839... Hôtel des ventes, place de la Bourse... / Me Regnard-Silvestre, commissaire-priseur; [expert P. DeferDate de l'édition originale: 1839Le présent ouvrage s'inscrit dans une politique de conservation patrimoniale des ouvrages de la littérature Française mise en place avec la BNF. HACHETTE LIVRE et la BNF proposent ainsi un catalogue de titres indisponibles, la BNF ayant numérisé ces oeuvres et HACHETTE LIVRE les imprimant à la demande. Certains de ces ouvrages reflètent des courants de pensée caractéristiques de leur époque, mais qui seraient aujourd'hui jugés condamnables. Ils n'en appartiennent pas moins à l'histoire des idées en France et sont susceptibles de présenter un intérêt scientifique ou historique. Le sens de notre démarche éditoriale consiste ainsi à permettre l'accès à ces oeuvres sans pour autant que nous en cautionnions en aucune façon le contenu.
