Erik Desmazieres is acknowledged as a contemporary master of the art of etching. This book locates Desmazieres and his work in the long tradition of artist-printmakers, surveys the world of 17th-century antiquarianism and its intriguing cast of characters; and examines today's reawakened interest in cabinets of rarities and curiosities.
