Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the history and techniques of engraving, from its origins in ancient times to the 15th century. The author begins by discussing the various methods of engraving on different materials, and then traces the development of engraving from its use in ancient times to create seals and amulets, through its use in the production of playing cards in the 14th and 15th centuries. The author also explores the debate over whether the invention of engraving is more closely linked to the production of playing cards or religious imagery. Of particular interest is the discussion of the "Tarocchi of Mantegna," a series of 50 emblematic figures with their attributes, which is considered one of the earliest and most important examples of engraving on copper. The book is well-illustrated with examples of engravings from different periods, and provides a comprehensive overview of the history of engraving up to the 15th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
