Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. A fascinating insight into the role of the book's subject before the advent of modern printing technology. This book is a meticulous study of the profound changes that occurred in book illustration from the time of its origins in religious texts and manuscripts through the advent of the printing press. It traces the evolution of illustration from a purely expressive form detached from the real world to the point where it is able to accurately depict actual events and people. The author argues that this development is not simply a matter of technical advancement but deeply connected to the way people thought about the world. This meticulously researched volume will not just appeal to those interested in the history of art. It offers valuable insights into the changing nature of human vision and cognition that will interest anyone from art historians to sociologists.
