Engraving Accuracy in Early Modern England

Visual Communication and the Royal Society

Beschreibung

On the one hand, this study uncovers how approaches to knowledge production differed in the 17th century as compared with the 21st century. On the other, it reveals how the early modern struggle to sort through an overwhelming quantity of visual information - brought on by major changes in image production and circulation - resonates with our own.
