The first extended study of visual communication in print media of the early modern period, this book discusses works as diverse as arithmetical and astrological tables, natural histories and anatomies, illustrated political broadsides, military and horticultural manuals, books of maps and antiquarian tomes, and advertisements for new technologies and commercial opportunities. It analyzes those images, and the acts of communication they performed, using theory drawn from visual rhetoric and information design.
