Acquired just last year, Jan van der Straet’s major print The Invention of Copper Engraving transports the viewer to sixteenth-century Europe to stand alongside master printmakers and their apprentices in a bustling workshop. Focusing on this celebrated engraving, Curatorial Assistant for Works on Paper Allison Marino reveals lesser-known facts about the early modern printer’s workshop, from the roots of present day copyright in Dürer’s legal battle for his monogram, to the central presence of female printers in eighteenth-century workshops.
