Print Culture in Early Modern France - Abraham Bosse and the Purposes of Print

Carl Goldstein examines the print culture of seventeenth-century France through a study of Abraham Bosse, a well-known printmaker, illustrator, and author of books and pamphlets. The consummate print professional, Bosse persistently explored the possibilities of print – single-sheet prints combining text and image, book illustration, broadsides, placards, almanacs, theses, and pamphlets.
