Among topics discussed are the printed sources for decorative motifs in 16th-century churches, the publication history of the works of Andrea Palladio, and the evolution of drawing manuals in 17th-century England. Other subjects include the library formed by the architect Sir John Soane, developments in 19th-century art publishing, and the role of printed catalogues in documenting the acquisitions made by English collectors of paintings, sculpture and antiquities |
