Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Origin and Early History of Engraving, Upon Copper and in Wood

It happened that that part of the present Inquiry which treats of early wood-engraving, was finished before Mr. Singer's work was far advanced and at his request, a copy of the book, so far printed, was sent to him for his inspection I have thought it necessary to notice this circumstance, in order to account for the mention of this work in several passages of Mr. Singer's book, which, having been finally completed before my own, has now been many weeks in the hands of the public. Mr. Singer, I find, differs with me in opinion upon several points; but I think, upon the whole, we are less frequently at variance as to facts than consequences. There are two or three passages of his work, only, to which I think it necessary to offer a few words in reply.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book represents an in-depth study of engraving, both on metal and on wood, from its likely origins in China through the 15th century. Using old texts and the author's own connoisseurship to examine prints and evaluate information, the book re-examines many accepted beliefs and long-held theories, proposing a new understanding of the origins of engraving and challenging some of the most firmly held assumptions in the field. The author makes a strong case that engraving on wood was practiced in Europe a century before the traditional date of its supposed "invention"-and at least as early as engraving on metal. This book demonstrates the importance of primary source analysis, and provides a major contribution to the history of printmaking. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781332048052_0
