Free tickets (bookable in advance) from the British Library Box Office, 96 Euston Road, London NW1 2DB. Tel: [0] 20 7412 7332 Email: [log in to unmask] 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. ******************************************************************** [log in to unmask] Tony Campbell, Map Librarian British Library Map Library 96 Euston Road London NW1 2DB UK Phone: 020 7412 7525 International: +44 20 7412 7525 Fax: 020 7412 7780 International: +44 20 7412 7780 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please see, bookmark and PROVIDE LINKS to:- 1.
