Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment

Are volcanoes punishment from God? During the Enlightenment, questions such as this were brought to life through an astonishing array of prints and drawings, helping shape public opinion and stir political change. This book overturns common assumptions about the Age of Enlightenment, using the era's proliferation of works on paper to tell a more nuanced story. With a multidisciplinary approach, the book probes developments in the natural sciences, technology, economics, and more - all through the lens of the graphic arts.

From Summer 2023 recommended reading from MIT (MIT News).
