In old engravings dearly valued only first names (Rembrandt, Durer, Marcantonio Raimondi, Aldgrever, Luke Leiden, Callot, Piranesi, Canaletto, some Dutch XVII century: Waterloo, Everdingen, Romain de Hooge, etc.) and /or very rare engravings, for example, overtly erotic content (the church of "not welcomed" and destroyed as soon as possible). Quite expensive to run prints in color, filled with up to 1800 from the XIX century - Corot, Dobbin, Whistler, Delacroix, Yongkind, Constable, the Impressionists. At work, performed in the XX century, the prices here and there "inflated" artificially, but also are valued mainly first names. Engravings, executed for the books, are valued lower than independent works.

Amateur Thank you:). However, there is, in this case, the apparent contradiction.
