The significance of the media and communications revolution
occasioned by printmaking was profound. Less a part of the standard
narrative of printmaking's significance is recognition of the
frequency with which the widespread dissemination of printed works
also occurred beyond the borders of Europe and consideration of the
impact of this broader movement of printed objects. Within a decade
of the invention of the Gutenberg press, European prints began to
move globally. Over the course of the fifteenth to the eighteenth
centuries, numerous prints produced in Europe traveled to areas as
varied as Turkey, India, Iran, Ethiopia, China, Japan and the
Americas, where they were taken by missionaries, artists,
travelers, merchants and diplomats. This collection of essays
explores the global circulation of knowledge, both written and
visual, that occurred by means of prints in the Early Modern
period.
