Imprinting the imagination

"The present exhibition uses prints from the outstanding yet little-known Holtorp collection of The John Rylands Library as a window into key debates in the study of the Renaissance print and its implication for modernity. This display stems from the seminar class 'Renaissance Print Cultures', which I taught in the Department of Art History and Visual Studies at the University of Manchester in spring 2014."--Introduction, p. 2.
