Synopsis
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution: Showing the Operations, Expenditures and Condition of the Institution for the Year Ending June 30, 1915, Report of the U. S. National Museum
On the ground floor of the Smithsonian building are three principal subdivisions of space, the great main hall, the western hall and the connecting range. All of these have been assigned to the exhibition of the graphic arts, but owing to the renovation of the main hall, still in progress, the collections relating to this subject have been placed in some disorder. Under this heading are included not only the higher grades of engraving, printing and binding, but also all processes of reproduction down to the methods of rapid illustration resorted to by the newspapers of to-day.
