In the fifteenth century, woodcuts and engravings were accessible to an audience much larger than the small literate classes, and even today we cannot claim to be anything other than a visual culture.

Like the old visual puzzle that showed nine dots in the shape of a square, and you had to connect them all in a single diagram, without lifting your pen from the paper. The solution was to draw the connecting lines starting outside the dots...
