Charles A. Platt: A Guide to His Graphic Art

By James a Atkinson

This 340 page Guide is a catalogue raisonn of Charles A. Platt's complete graphic oeuvre. The documentary basis includes Rice's catalogue (1887), entries in the Chase Gallery exhibition (1887) and the Grolier Club (1925). Of particular interest is information about Platt's reproductive etchings and his eleven lithographs. Also included are notations about the exhibition history, publications using specific etchings, public collections holding his works, plus a chronological commentary on each work. The correspondence section, based on letters to and from him, highlights relevant personal material for each year in his career. These letters, particularly those to his family, afford the reader a perspective on his personality, character, mindset, and formative experiences.
