Featuring a remarkable series of Goya prints, this title complements an exhibition at the Museum from 20 September 2012 to 5 January 2013. The collection was last shown in the 1970s (an incomplete selection) and has never before been catalogued.

Product description
Review
"Well-written and superbly and generously illustrated ... a narrative history of graphic arts in Spain, and an important addition to the standard bibliography. No such survey in English was ever attempted before. ...The author's lucid, engaging prose in the book reflects the clear organisation and telling juxtapositions of prints and drawings in this informative and beautiful exhibition". --The Burlington Magazine
