This highly anticipated and beautifully illustrated book examines the evolution of early printmaking in late medieval Europe. Through their means of production and the evidence of their utility, prints are explored in a broad social and economic context. Produced to accompany the first major international exhibition to be devoted to the earliest images printed on paper in the Western world, this book serves as an essential addition to the library of both the general reader and the art historian with an interest in medieval history and culture.
