When a mysterious cache of sixteenth-century Netherlandish engravings was discovered in the Arctic circle in the nineteenth century, many questions arose.
What do such objects, for example, tell us about
narratives of Renaissance globalization? About "cultural exchange"
conceptualized not in terms of movement and difference, but of stasis,
mundanity, and sameness?
