Many of the terms applied by art historians and curators to describe prints, drawings, and watercolors are not readily understood by the majority of exhibition visitors and art enthusiasts. These terms can also be difficult to find in reference books. This publication, which is part of the popular Looking At series of art glossaries, defines and illustrates in one portable volume the most commonly used technical terms related to these three media. This handy reference guide features over one hundred entries--alphabetically arranged from aquatint to wood engraving--that concisely explain the processes and materials utilized in creating prints, drawings, and watercolors. This edition, revised from a book originally published in 1989, has been updated with additional color illustrations and new entries on digital printmaking and copies and fakes. It is richly illustrated with objects from the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum and the British Museum.

Die Neuauflage stellt eine gründliche Neubearbeitung des zuletzt 1971 erschienenen deutsch-englischen Teils des Law Dictionary dar. Das Wörterbuch enthält die Fachterminologie des Rechtsbereichs unter Berücksichtigung übergreifender Disziplinen. So wurden die auch für den Rechtsbereich relevanten Begriffe aus Wirtschaft, Politik und Diplomatie, Begriffe des Verteidigungs- und Militärwesens, des Steuer-, Zoll-, Versicherungs-, Verkehrs- und Nachrichtenwesens wie des Finanz-, Betriebs-, Geld-, Bank- und Börsenwesens in das Wörterbuch aufgenommen. Die 4. Auflage wurde ergänzt um die Terminologie folgender Bereiche: Atomwirtschaft, Terrorismusbekämpfung, Umweltschutz, Drogenszene, Wettbewerbsrecht, Luftpiraterie u.a. Jeder Eintrag wurde gründlich hinsichtlich seiner Wichtigkeit für den Benutzer geprüft. Neben der rein fachlichen Terminologie war auch die Aufnahme einiger allgemeiner Begriffe erforderlich. Auf Grund der Fülle des vorliegenden Materials, die sich aus dem Studium einschlägiger Literatur und praktischer Tätigkeit ergab, überschreitet der Band bei weitem das Volumen der Vorauflage. Die Anzahl der Begriffe wuchs von etwa 30.000 auf rund 75.000.
