Bloomsbury USA, Mar 4, 2008 - Antiques & Collectibles - 128 pages

For centuries, prints were the only means of conveying information pictorially to the public. They were the means of illustrating books, reproducing paintings, satirising politicians and depicting sporting occasions. This book helps distinguish the various types of prints, tells about their history and development and shows something of their range and variety.
