From the introduction: "A series of fortunate circumstances has produced a body of evidence pointing strongly to the possibility that Gutenberg, the inventor of printing with movable type on a press, had a major share in the early development - if not the actual invention - of copper engraving. Relief printing from type and intaglio printing from engraved plates have hitherto been considered separate, independent graphic processes. Now it appears that the earliest known copper engraver, the so-called Master of the Playing Cards, was associated with Gutenberg. It is possible to prove that the iconography of the Master was not, as hitherto believed, his own invention, but developed from sources used simultaneously and in the same locality by illuminators active in Mainz in the 1450s, among them artists connected in some way with Gutenberg's workshop. A new concept of Gutenberg's creative dream is emerging. There remains little doubt that he envisaged the typographic reproduction in color of the medieval liturgical manuscripts current in his time. He was developing mechanical means for the multiplication of manuscripts, including not only the writing, the initials, and the calligraphic ornamentation but apparently also illuminated miniatures and borders. The engravings of the Master of the Playing Cards, it seems, were not created a priori for a card game, but as technical stepping-stones toward the multiple reproduction of miniatures. Only when Gutenberg's financial disaster closed the Mainz workshop to him were these engravings utilized commercially for the production of playing cards."
