Brown Bag Lunch: "Quixotic Typography: Composing Maps and Illustrations Using Special Letterpress Fonts"

The Weissman Preservation Center is pleased to invite you to a Brown Bag Lunch on March 22nd from noon to 1 pm in the Lamont Forum Room.

David Whitesell, Rare Book Cataloger at Houghton Library, will reprise for us the lecture he delivered last July 18th at the University of Virginia's Rare Book School. In "Quixotic Typography: Composing Maps and Illustrations Using Special Letterpress Fonts", David will trace the attempts made by printers during the 18th and 19th centuries to create illustrations with movable types.

As with all Weissman Brown Bags, cookies will be provided.
