A vivid history of the evolution of printmaking as a means of creative expression, from prehistory to the present day

The significance of printmaking within the history of art is often underplayed, obscured, or misunderstood. This book tells the story of artist prints from across the globe in a manner that is accessible and engaging. It demystifies how prints are made, from woodblock to etching.

Throughout history, printmaking has defied easy categorisation. It has straddled "fine" art practices, commercially minded production, and has been employed as much for creative experimentation as it has for disseminating information. Its story is interwoven with industry, scientific discovery, war, politics, and cultural exchange. Born out of collaboration (where artists, printers, and publishers come together) it has been defined by democratisation: print brings art to the people. Whether formed by slicing linoleum or plunging plates into acid, then distributed via bound books or pasted posters, the print has not just replicated the world, it has shaped it.
