Abstract

[This chapter asks who the people buying the materials and equipment described in the previous chapter were, and who between artist-engravers, publishers, and printers absorbed which costs, took on which tasks, or were responsible for which risks. It explores how representative were some of the era’s most prolific and well-researched collaborations, the commercial uses and successes of plates that contained errors, and the economics of reworking and refreshing plates. It argues that the trade in satirical prints consisted of a variety of metropolitan businessmen and women rather than a coherent industry of printmakers and print sellers, and that the dynamic of power between the different agents involved requires careful consideration in light of the objects they made and sold.]
