“By bringing in unjustly overlooked figures and her own personal experiences of printmaking, Black refreshes our attention. The result is a compelling volume, its insights governed by an expertise that spans centuries and cultures.”—Elizabeth Savage, Literary Review

“What a great read through the history of printmaking, and I learned a lot about how the different techniques came about and evolved. I particularly liked how it doesn’t focus on purely Western art history and highlights the women who were instrumental in the story of printmaking.”—Tabish Khan, Fad Magazine

“In current times, when we have inkjet printers in our homes, there is less understanding of ‘traditional’ printmaking processes, those which involve, woodblock, etching plate, lithographic stone or silkscreen. The Story of Printmaking explains the development and spread of the printed image over time and across the world with such engaging and often surprising examples. Particularly fascinating is the historical role of women in all aspects of the process, whether artist, printmaker or publisher.”—Angie Lewin, linocut printmaker

“Printmaking is art’s most accessible medium and this book is destined to be the go-to guide for anyone interested in its global history. Exciting, informative and beautifully illustrated, it’s a classic in the making.”—Charlotte Mullins, author of The Art Isles
