SECOND SIGHT
This catalogue gets its title from the fact that most of the prints in it are selected from existing stock, though there are also some new prints to ‘season’ and enrich.
It is very wide ranging in content, with Old Masters and 18th century through to 21st century British & Continental works, as well as the occasional item by American and Japanese artists.
The earliest print dates from 1489, on a page from an early book, the Mirror of Human Salvation, produced in Augsburg.
Printer Peter Berger: The Miracle of the loaves & fishes.
Hand-coloured woodcut within the text
