NATIONAL LIBRARY OF MEDICINE - History of Medicine Division
SEMINAR IN THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2005, 2:00-3:15 pm, Lister Hill Visitors Center,
Bldg 38A, NLM; Bethesda, MD
Money and Speed and Time: 19th Century Book Illustration Processes: A
Really Illustrated Lecture.
Speaker: Terry Belanger, Ph.D.
The ability to reproduce accurate and affordable book illustrations has
always been of paramount importance to the publishers and readers of
medical books. This presentation will entail a discussion and
examination primarily of English and American illustrated books
before--and just after--the coming of photographic process halftones.
Terry Belanger was educated at Haverford College and at Columbia
University, where he received his PhD in 18th-century English
literature. In 1971, he established the Book Arts Press at Columbia
University as a bibliographical laboratory for the training of rare book
and special collections librarians and antiquarian booksellers. Belanger
moved both the Book Arts Press and Rare Book School to the University of
Virginia in 1992, where he is now University Professor and Honorary
Curator of Special Collections. Among many other activities and awards,
he is a 2005 MacArthur Fellow.
All are Welcome
