    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Stunning collection of early prints, exploring how they transformed art, belief, power, and the spread of ideas.

    This richly illustrated volume offers fresh perspectives on iconic Renaissance and Baroque prints and their enduring impact on viewers. Featuring outstanding examples of over 100 prints by celebrated artists such as D?rer, Rembrandt, Goya, and other Old Masters, the book explores how printmaking sparked imagination, deepened faith, and elicited desire across four centuries.

    The book also traces the technical evolution of print media and explores how prints?became powerful tools of mass communication, fundamentally altering how ideas and knowledge spread.?Its thematic focus reveals the striking ways prints shaped devotional practices, political critique, artistic self-promotion, and class- and gender-based identities in the pre-photographic world.
