Curatorial Assistant for Works on Paper Allison Marino reveals lesser-known facts about the early modern printer’s workshop, from the roots of present day copyright in Dürer’s legal battle for his monogram, to the central presence of female printers in 18th-century workshops.

Marino focuses on a celebrated engraving the Clark acquired just last year, Jan van der Straet’s major print The Invention of Copper Engraving, transporting the viewer to sixteenth-century Europe to stand alongside master printmakers and their apprentices in a bustling workshop.

Visit the Manton Study Center for Works on Paper, which houses the Clark’s collection of more than 6,500 prints, drawings, and photographs. Each week, discover a unique selection of rarely exhibited works on paper with a member of the curatorial department. Offered Wednesdays from 1 to 1:30 p.m. in August.

The talk is ree and open to the public; capacity is limited to twenty visitors on a first-come, first-served basis. The Manton Study Center for Works on Paper is located next to the exhibition Printed Renaissance in the Manton Research Center.

By the Way Berkshires is a digital magazine exploring creative life and community — art and performance, food and the outdoors — and I’m writing it for you, with local voices, because I’ve gotten to know this rich part of the world as a writer and journalist, and I want to share it with you.

If you’d like to see the website grow, you can join me for a few dollars a month, enough for a cup of coffee and a cider doughnut. Members get access to extra stories and multimedia, itineraries a bookmark tool. Let me know what you're looking for, and we’ll explore together.
