More DescriptionThis edited collection of papers explores from an interdisciplinary perspective the role of images and objects in early modern knowledge-making practices with an emphasis on mapping methodological approaches against printed pictures and things.

The book includes contributions from the perspective of international scholars and museum professionals drawing on methodologies from a range of fields.
