Tuesday 31 July 2012, Cambridge University Library will be holding its
fifth masterclass as part of the Incunabula Project.

The masterclass, entitled ‘Integrating Images in the Fifteenth-Century
Book’, will be led by Roger Gaskell, of Roger Gaskell Rare Books
(http://www.rogergaskell.com/About.htm).

The invention of printing meant that identical copies of verbal texts
could be produced. However the provision of exactly reproduced images, the
same in each copy, lagged behind, and hand-drawn or pasted-in illustrations
continued to be used. Using examples from the UL collection, this class will
provide hands-on instruction in identifying and analysing the technologies
of picture printing by which standardised text-image relationships were
achieved.

The seminar will be held in the Sir Geoffrey Keynes Room at the Library.
It will start at 2.30pm and will last approximately 90 minutes, allowing time
for questions and discussion. Attendance will be limited in order to allow
all attendees a chance to see the books under discussion up close, and
to participate in the discussion.
