Starting in Leyden, the university town where the Pilgrim exiles found refuge just as Rembrandt was born there, Holman gives a brief account of the artist’s life, his rise and his poverty in Amsterdam, and his work on the copper plate. A complete chronological list of the etchings follows, prepared with the help of the print scholar Arthur M. Hind.
