Abstract
Wood-engravings by 19th-century master illustrator, Alexander Anderson that are pasted into a set of 12 scrapbook albums together containing thousands of images. As the prints are proofs and represent a virtual complete catalog of the artist's work, it is assumed they came directly from Anderson's descendants to the Library, where they were re-bound in 1954. There are very general subject indexes at the beginning of each of the twelve scrapbooks; there is also a very basic subject index in the Print Collection files.
