In the article "The History of Fantasy Art" by Charles Moffat, how was literacy an integral part of fantasy art?

According to the article, literacy was an integral part of fantasy because it was very expensive to print images on the first printers. So the fantasy elements had to be described in words and not images.

Explanation:

The article shows that literacy occurred in Western countries earlier than in the East. This literacy created a demand for books, mainly due to the creation of the first printer. However, printers were not able to place images on books and paint images to show fantastic elements in books was very expensive. Thus, fantasy had to be described in words, which shows how literacy was an integral part of fantasy art.

The images were only added to the books in 1907, when a screen printing method was created that allows images to be added cheaply.
