"Through a Glass Darkly: Allegory and Faith in Netherlandish Prints from Lucas van Leyden to Rembrandt is a reflection of Walter's and Jim's deep knowledge and astute interpretation of how and why visual allegory, especially in the medium of print, played a crucial role in scriptural interpretation and the religious debates that consumed the Low Countries during the 16th and 17th centuries....I am also pleased to acknowledge the Emory graduate students enrolled in Walter's seminar, Allegorical Usage in the Low Countries, 1550-1650 in Fall 2018 who contributed to this project through the writing of a selection of catalogue entries."--"Director's forward" [sic], p. 4.
