"The 18th and 19th centuries were characterized by the spirit of bourgeois emancipation. The democratic upswing led to a high culture of printing techniques, as explained by the simple fact that graphic reproductions please many. The masses demanded the image, the copper engraving, in order to at least imagine the splendor of the life of the chosen few, and the more solvent citizen created collections of engravings and studied - also a hallmark of the history of democracy - an infinitely popularized science in pictures: botanology and anatomy, entology and geology etc." - translated from the opening paragraph.
