Written by four distinguished scholars — Michel Melot, Antony Griffiths, Richard S. Field, and André Béguin — the text brings together deep expertise in woodcut, engraving, etching, lithography, and beyond, illustrating how each technique shaped and was shaped by the artistic movements of its time. The tone is rigorously academic yet richly engaging, making it an essential reference for both serious collectors and students of the visual arts. Each contributor details the social and historical contexts that drove printmaking's development, arguing that prints are not merely reproductions but independent works of art with their own distinct language and legacy. Comprehensive in scope and lavishly informed, this volume stands as one of the definitive texts on the history of the printed image.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792146510043,"sku":"2026600003168-SECONDHAND","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8b885901-f9a6-4e70-86e9-971d1ddc93fe.png?v=1779272688","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600003168-secondhand-prints-history-of-an-art","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
