The Wenceslaus Hollar Collection

Books

The Fisher Hollar collection contains some one hundred published works containing original prints made from Hollar's plates, in addition to the individual etchings. In an effort to provide the original context for at least some of Hollar's book illustration, the full text of several works has been included on the site. Each book is shown in its entirety, and the text is fully searchable on the site's search page. The books chosen are milestones in Hollar's career, and are outstanding examples of his contribution to book illustration, in a variety of subject fields.
