e-gallery:

The advent of the Internet gave new meaning to E. The letter is now commonly accepted as a prefix abbreviation for Electronic. One definition of gallery states that it is a building or room devoted to the exhibition of works of art; therefore, an egallery or e-gallery is a place on the Web that virtually functions as an art gallery. The website you are using has an e-gallery. Access it and use your horizontal scroll bar to move to the right as if walking through a real-world gallery.

As you move through the gallery at Bob Glover.com and view the artist's works it appears as if they hanging on a wall. When you see something of interest and want to know more about it or to access a larger view, simply point and click on it. You can also move through the exhibited works individually. Look for linked arrows that move you back and forth through pages in a series. The pages have notes, details, and larger versions of the works you see in the gallery. Enjoy.

e-gallery / horizontal scroll bar:

According to Jolantha Belik, Adobe Community Expert: Horizontal scrolling is one of those usability nightmares that cause visitors to never come back to your web site. Actually, I do not mean a horizontal scroll bar of a layer that contains a small gallery. That is a special situation. Experience has shown that visitors love to scroll in galleries to find out what is still hidden(source of quote). The quote seems to say that it's a good thing to ask you to use your browser's horizontal scroll bar to virtually stroll through the exhibit of Bob Glover's art in his e-gallery (see the definition of e-gallery). In case you're interested in knowing more about the subject, here's a Google of the Web for ... "horizontal scroll bar".

printing layout:

... the design and arrangement of text, graphics and other elements for printing a page or set of pages. Before the computer existed, layouts were generally done on flat surfaces such as paper boards or by cutting and rearranging film negatives for making printing plates. The latter process is known as stripping. Layout artists sometimes refer to designing for the printing press as board work. Board work comes from artists using the term drawing board to identify an item of equipment. Creating a layout for printing using a computer requires being familiar with specific software or otherwise providing it instructions for getting the job done within a production environment.

veteran artists:

... expression used in this website to identify those veterans of World War II who returned to the United States and took advantage of the GI Bill to learn to become illustrators in the late 1940s and 1950s. Many of them had exposure to the artists of the Golden Age of Illustration. Some sources identify the period of the Golden Age of illustration as a period between the 1880s and the early 20th century; however, it is likely that art historians will look back in the future to see that it actually ran into that time when the computer took on the tasks of graphic artists. Many of those veteran illustrators as defined here and those who passed on their skills to them* have proven themselves to be on par with the best so-called fine artists that history has produced. It just takes time and the passing of artists before those who are able to make a living at it** are counted by many art historians as among the great.

** The following is a 1952 quote from Pablo Picasso about making a living as an artist:

From the moment that art ceases to be food that feeds the best minds, the artist can use his talents to perform all the tricks of the intellectual charlatan. Most people can today no longer expect to receive consolation and exaltation from art." The 'refined,' the rich, the professional 'do-nothings', the distillers of quintessence desire only the peculiar, the sensational, the eccentric, the scandalous in today's art. I myself, since the advent of Cubism, have fed these fellows what they wanted and satisfied these critics with all the ridiculous ideas that have passed through my mind." The less they understood them, the more they admired me. Through amusing myself with all these absurd farces, I became celebrated, and very rapidly. For a painter, celebrity means sales and consequent affluence. Today, as you know, I am celebrated, I am rich." But when I am alone, I do not have the effrontery to consider myself an artist at all, not in the grand old meaning of the word: Giotto, Titian, Rembrandt, Goya were great painters. I am only a public clown--a mountebank." I have understood my time and have exploited the imbecility, the vanity, the greed of my contemporaries. It is a bitter confession, this confession of mine, more painful than it may seem. But at least and at last it does have the merit of being honest.
