There are also a handful of 19th century additions and manuscript notes on the Hindustan language at the back of the book, dating from a later phase of ownership.\r\nThe prints within this volume provide insights into the use of printed design sources, and methods used by engravers of goldsmiths’ work to record their output for future reference. The condition of the volume indicates that it sat on or near the workbench rather than on a library shelf, and there are signs of use of some of the prints.\r\nThis volume adds to the understanding of the interaction between fine art and design, between printmaking and the decorative arts, and between printmaking and engraving on objects.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Engraving, four topographical views, within Engraver's record book, by Jan Drapentier, ca. 1710, English, ink and paper","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["E.3:779-2003"],"accessionNumberNum":"3","accessionNumberPrefix":"E","accessionYear":2003,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-05","recordCreationDate":"2007-04-23","availableToBook":false}}
