爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Although each felt doubtful of the ability of any process adequately to reproduce their masterpieces, the owners heartily co-operated with Bok. But Bok's co-editors discouraged his plan, since it would involve endless labor, the exclusive services of a corps of photographers and engravers, and the employment of the most careful pressmen available in the United States. The editor realized that the obstacles were numerous and that the expense would be enormous; but he felt sure that the American public was ready for his idea. And early in 1912 he announced his series and began its publication.

白话
收藏家们虽然怀疑复制技术,但还是支持博克。然而,博克的编辑同事们却劝他放弃,因为计划需要大量人力、专业摄影师和印刷师,成本极高。博克承认困难重重,但他判断美国公众已经准备好接受这样的内容。于是他在1912年初宣布系列并开始出版。他的取舍是:在别人看到风险时,他看到需求;在团队犹豫时,他敢于拍板。这需要对自己判断的自信和对市场的敏锐。
上下文
博克在杂志内部面临阻力,但他坚信读者对高质量艺术复制品的需求。
