...less at the University Bookstore. The subjects of the heliotypes have been carefully selected by Mr. Osgood, and, though most of them are modern (Toschi's engravings after Correggio, and others after Titian and Raphael), there will be found Durer's "Life of the Virgin" and probably the whole of Blake...
