The Woodcut in Fifteenth-Century Europe (Studies in the History of Art)

Garden of Eichstaett (Taschen cardboxes) (Taschen blank books)
by Klaus Walter Littger and Werner Dressendoerfer

Under the supervision of Basilius Besler, a team of at least ten engravers worked on this massive project, translating in situ and specimen drawings faithfully to copper plates. Nearly four hundred years old, the book...
Nature printing is the name given to the print-making technique in which natural objects provide the surface from which prints are taken - without the interpolation of artist's interpretation. This technique was developed in the Middle Ages to assist those gathering medicinal plants (the earliest datable nature print dates from 1228) using relatively simple impressions taken from leaves and fruit. By the 17th and 18th centuries, nature printing had developed into a serious scientific process of...
Artists and Amateurs
Over the course of the 18th century a great number of artists, ranging from established painters and sculptors to amateurs, experimented with etching, an accessible form of printmaking akin to drawing. In a period when artists strained to navigate the highly regulated Academie Royale and the increasingly discordant public spheres of the marketplace and the Salon, etching afforded them stylistic freedom and allowed them to produce exquisite works of art in a spirit of collaboration and experiment...
Art Books (Mega Square)
There are over 70 courses teaching printmaking in the UK.

This directory lists all the print workshops in the UK, giving details such as a...
