By some unknown means he was able to get a small clavichord. By even more unknown means, he was able to smuggle said clavichord to a small room at the top of the house. Then, at night, while the rest of the family was asleep, little George would silently creep up to the room and play music, ever so quietly, late into the night. It was there, in a small dark room, late into the night, note after note, Handel discovered the magic of music.------ Related/Unrelated Text/Graphics on Reverse --- The 1920s through 1950s were a golden age for home encyclopedias that were the most used resource for learning.These encyclopedias employed illustrators and photographers to create images for their articles.These images and stories are great pieces of history.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
