The current issue includes a detailed account of the life and career of the Flemish printmaker and publisher Charles de Mallery. It reveals the diversity of his production, as well as his remarkable and profitable participation in an unexpectedly active international trade in prints in seventeenth-century Europe. The article also considers his subsequent demise due to significant financial demands following the death of his wife.
Also included are considerations of Christophe Plantin and his press, and the tradition of grotesques, such as etchings by Hollar after Leonardo, as seen in a private collection.
