The first mention of Baku dates back to the 5th century. This is evidenced by materials from archaeological excavations (1932-1936), which showed that a settlement existed in the place of Baku for several centuries BC. It is also known that in the VIII century. the inhabitants of these places produced oil. In the XII century. Baku for a short time becomes the capital of the Shirvanshahs. The construction of the fortress wall around the then city belongs to this period. By the XII century. The importance of Baku is growing and the Baku Bay is gaining great popularity as a good port. In the XV century. Baku is becoming known as the residence of the Shirvanshahs. By the 17th century, the ancient part of the city is surrounded by a double row of ramparts with a moat. Oil production played a very important role in the development of Baku. In the notes of travellers of the X century. at the mention of Baku, it refers to its oil sources. In those days, Baku oil was used as lighting oil for lighting, it was used to treat patients, and during the war, it was used as an incendiary. In the XV century. in the vicinity of the city, there were already about five hundred oil wells. Production was carried out in the most primitive way – oil was scooped out of the wells with leather bags. Oil produced by sea through Astrakhan was taken to Russia, and through Persia – to the countries of the East.

Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as illustrations to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques: relief printing (woodcut & wood engraving), intaglio printing (steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and planographic printing (lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
