Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book digs into the past of a little-known profession: engraving, etching, embossing, and art made with burins and printing presses in the northeastern city of Aberdeen. The book follows the development of the craft's techniques, details the careers of its practitioners, and examines the networks of apprentices, rivals, and patrons who shaped the industry. The book also analyzes the tools and methods of the trade, describing the social, artistic, religious, and technological transformations that affected the development of engraving and printing. Through the patronage of the aristocracy and the enthusiasm of local bibliophiles, Aberdeen emerged as one of Britain's artistic centers, its craftsmen producing religious, historical, political, and scientific works that circulated in elite circles across Scotland and beyond. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
