- Title
Images on the Move: The Virgin, the Kalendar of Shepherds, and the Transmission of Woodcuts in Tudor England.
- Authors
Davis, David
- Abstract
The article focuses on the English printing in the 16th century which was dependent mainly on the transmission and recycle of woodcuts and other illustrations. It states that the movement of images throughout the period defined and shaped the printed iconography as well as industry of printing in England. It notes that the image of the Virgin offers unique insight in the transmission of image, where one historian points out that during the Reformation, this image became prime symbols of what is required for destruction. Furthermore, it notes that by recycling and transmitting, printers used the illustrations more economically.
