Issued in conjunction with a series of 2008-2009 exhibitions. "The central goal of this exhibition is to display a selection of impressive and rare examples of this important yet unfamiliar category of prints that blossomed across Europe in the sixteenth century. [It] will introduce the composite print phenomenon in order to reassess and situate it within the history of Renaissance visual culture, while also hoping to stimulate further study. For the first time since the ground-breaking exhibition Riesenholzschnitte (Giant Woodcuts), held in Germany in 1976, this exhibition assembles nearly fifty of these multipart works in one place. [It], however, also expands the body of material from that earlier exhibition to include both engravings and etchings in addition to woodcuts." (p. 8) With essays by Larry Silver, Suzanne Boorsch, Lilian Armstrong, Alison Stewart, and Stephen Goddard, a substantial bibliography, and the exhibition checklist of 47 items. Beautiful and detailed reproductions of the prints.
