Placing Prints: New Developments in the Study of Print, 1400–1800 (Brill’s Studies on Art, Art History, and Intellectual History, 74)

This volume presents a broad spectrum of essays exemplifying current advances in print scholarship. It aims to focus attention on the medium of print. While the essays reflect the varied production and role of print, central themes explored here include the making of prints and their perceived ‘place’ within a printmaker’s practice or the circulation, reception and use of prints in the hands of diverse publishers and audiences. The volume highlights the importance of the print medium as an art historical topic.
