{"value"=>"<p>This series contains original prints created by Edward Gordon Craig. It consists almost exclusively of wood engravings, but also includes what may be an etching by Craig. Most of the prints appear to have been acquired by Donald Oenslager during the last few years of Craig’s life (1962-1963), including a cache of materials formerly in the collection of the puppeteer, Paul McPharlin. The source of some of the prints can be identified precisely with information provided in the correspondence and invoices from dealers contained in Series I, sub-series 2; a spreadsheet containing these attributions has been prepared. The prints have been arranged alphabetically by title, as cited in the lists (A and B) of Craig’s wood engravings printed for private circulation during the 1920s (see Series I, Box 3, Folder 16) and from other sources. When more than one date appears in the folder heading, the first date indicated is usually the date that the original wood block was carved as given in these lists, followed by any dates included on or with the print itself.</p>"}
