Description
This richly illustrated publication reproduces and describes effectively every early modern German colour print held at the British Museum. It is one of the world?s most significant collections of these rare milestones of cultural heritage and technology. New photography reveals 150 impressions in jaw-dropping detail, most life-size. Some have never been seen in public or reproduced. It is the first major study of the first wave of German colour printing. It spans medieval printing in the late 1400s through the Renaissance and Reformation of the 1500s. 0This richly illustrated publication reproduces and describes effectively every early modern German colour print held at the British Museum.
