The museum explains that the show is “a group of woodcuts, engravings and etchings from the 15th through 18th centuries.

This show also offers a window into the evolution of art collection, as the rise of printmaking represented a time of prosperity for artists, who could now sell their work en masse, and represented a time when the general public could access and afford fine art. ‘‘

The museum says:
