[ISHMap-List] Videos of talks from conference on hand-colored early modern books and maps

[Chet Van Duzer]

Dear Colleagues,

On February 19 and 20, Larry Tise (East Carolina University) and I
held a conference at the Kislak Center at the University of
Pennsylvania titled "Paint over Print: Hand-Colored Books and Maps of
the Early Modern Period."

The papers addressed books and maps from the fifteenth to the
seventeenth century; specific topics discussed include the materials
and techniques used in hand-coloring, the connoisseurship of
hand-coloring, and how color alters the meaning of a printed work--how
the addition of color represents an interpretation or reinterpretation
of the work.

All of the talks were video-recorded, and those videos are now freely
available on the internet. Below I attach a list of the talks
delivered at the conference, each with a link to the relevant video.

I hope the talks prove to be of interest.

Best wishes,

Chet Van Duzer
