This catalogue accompanies the first exhibition of the Whitworth's outstanding Dürer collection in over half a century. In ten essays and thematic texts, it juxtaposes Dürer's celebrated woodcuts, engravings and etchings with objects from his time, ranging from a humble pair of scissors to astounding examples of German Renaissance metalwork, book printing, ceramics and textile manufacture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLeading scholars offer insight into how a changing material world, shaped by expanding European and global networks, helped spark artistic creativity and major innovations in design and craft in Dürer's Nuremberg and beyond. The catalogue also includes an in-depth study of the Whitworth's recently restored pietà sculpture and brings a new perspective to the role that local collectors - many involved in trade, industry and design - played in amassing one of the most significant holdings of this artist's graphic work in the United Kingdom.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdward H.
