The print repertoire of the 16th and 17th centuries in England has
been neglected historically, and this remarkable book rectifies a
major oversight in the history of English visual art. It provides
an iconographic survey of the single-sheet prints produced during
the early modern era and brings to light significant recent
discoveries from this visual storehouse. It publishes many works
for the first time, as well as placing them and those relatively
few others known to specialists in their cultural context. This
large body of material is treated broadly thematically, and within
each theme, chronologically. Portents and prodigies, the formal
moralities and doctrines of Christianity, the sects of
Christianity, visual satire of foreigners and "others," domestic
political issues, social criticism and gender roles, marriage and
sex, as well as numerical series and miscellaneous visual tricks,
puzzles, and jokes, are all examined. The book concludes by
considering the significance of this wealth of visual material for
the cultural history of England in the early modern era. Published
for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art
