Reseña del editor:

This text traces British printmaking from its Netherlandish roots in the London of James I and Charles I through to the later decades of the century. Prints are discussed within the historical framework of Oliver Cromwell, William and Mary, Guy Fawkes's plot, the Civil War, the Popish Plot, the Glorious Revolution and the Battle of Boyne. While the catalogue covers every significant print in the period, the greatest masters, such as de Passe, Vosterman, Hollar, Barlow and Smith, are dealt with in detail. The author focuses on the role and influence of print publishers and sellers, and draws comparisons between the business of printmaking then and now, as well as documenting the careers of the most sigificant publishers.
