Review

"This chronological study traces the evolution of graphic form - in its varying economic, social, political, technical, and artistic perspectives - from Antiquity through the Middle Ages and up through the age of technology. Each period is explained in detail, from Classical craftsmanship to the changes brought on by the Industrial Revolution and the modern-day potential of the digital world."--Jacket
