The History of the Printed Image Network Launch (Virtual Event)
The History of the Printed Image Network (HoPIN) is a new initiative from the Centre for Printing History and Culture. It is aimed at anyone interested in the history of printed images, including, but not limited to, artistic prints, book illustration, chapbooks, ballad-sheets, maps, photographs, transfer-prints, etc.
Online events will be arranged from time to time and other means of communicating informally within the network are being explored. There is no charge for membership or for online events. The network, which is part of the Centre for Printing History and Culture – a joint venture of Birmingham City University and the University of Birmingham – is open to anyone interested in printed images: academics, curators, printmakers and other practitioners, in fact anyone with an interest in the field.
The only limitation is that HoPIN focuses on the history of the printed image rather than current practice, except of course where practice is informed by historical awareness.
A launch event is scheduled Monday, November 30, 2020. The event is free, but booking is essential. Full details and a link to the booking form will be available in due course. The program includes the following presentations:
John Hinks: Brief introduction: the aims of HoPIN
Rose Roberto: In search of Walter Crane’s earliest published illustrations
Sibylle Erle: Images in Illuminated Printing: William Blake’s Songs of Innocence and of Experience
Amy Webster: ‘I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then’: exploring the repackaging of classic children’s books in modern series
John Grayson: The transferred image: from eighteenth-century enamel to contemporary craft
Brian Maidment: New books on old prints
Laura Onions: The Dudley writing cards (1928): printing into painting into writing.
