This year's Panizzi lectures will focus on changes brought about by
lithography in the design and production of a wide variety of graphic
material: music, maps, and ephemera.
Underpinning the series is the view that lithographic printers and their
co-workers revealed limitations in the capabilities of earlier methods of
print production by exploring the range of opportunities offered by the
process. It will be shown how they responded to the economy, directness,
versatility, and autographic qualities of lithography, and how some of the
techniques they used led to the blurring of distinctions between printing
processes.
