"The combination of the author’s knowledge of the literature and words of the period, his experience working with Continental influences on English art, his abilities with visual and bibliographic details, his organizational abilities, and his nice way of incorporating other scholars’ efforts with his own discoveries have led to a very fine book."—Agnes Haigh Widder,

The Print in Early Modern England is a testament to the discoveries still attainable through good, old-fashioned, archival research. . . . What [Jones] uncovered is a bounty that should dispel the myth of early modern England's visual illiteracy, and transform the way we picture the life of that extraordinary, culturally dynamic time."—Suzanne Karr Schmidt,
