Produktbeschreibung
Engraving Accuracy in Early Modern England traces major concepts including: the creation of the visual effects of accuracy through careful action and training; the development of visual judgment and connoisseurship; the role of an epistolary network in the production of knowledge; balancing readersâEUR(TM) expectations with representational conventions; and the effects of collecting on the creation and circulation of knowledge.
