The Kirk Edward Long Collection, one of the most comprehensive repositories of sixteenth-century prints in private hands, includes more than seven hundred engravings, etchings, woodcuts, and chiaroscuro woodcuts. They illuminate the sources, evolution, and transformation of mannerism, the dominant European style from about 1520 to 1580. This catalog of the 2016 exhibition is designed to introduce this extensive private collection to the public and to stimulate further study. It includes an account of the fomation of the collection and an overview of mannerism and printmaking. Other essays describe various aspects of sixteenth-century print culture. In addition, the catalog features 146 detailed entries on individual prints and suites by 18 scholars, an illustrated checklist of the entire collection, and an extensive bibliography
