Description of Pictures: Beyond Words: Book Illustration in the Age of Shakespeare
Feb 24 – Jun 03, 2018
The Folger exhibition Beyond Words: Book Illustration in the Age of Shakespeare shows how images in early modern books are as full of meaning as the text they illustrate. Explore portraits, views of daily life, maps, and more in richly varied 15th to 18th century works from the Folger collection, many rarely shown works.

See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. BWORDS_180314_03.JPG: Beyond Words Book Illustration in the Age of Shakespeare

3. BWORDS_180314_46.JPG: Conveying Information
4. BWORDS_180314_92.JPG: This book on military fortification by Jean Errard, a civil engineer to Henry IV, King of France, includes numerous engravings printed with the text. The wrong plate was printed on the page shown here. Instead of discarding the sheet with this mistake, the printer simply pasted the correct image over it.
5. BWORDS_180314_96.JPG: Federico Ghisliero's fencing book was meant to include images to help readers visualize the techniques, as was standard in treatises on the subject. The text -- including captions describing the images -- was printed first, and thirty-three blank spaces were left for the intaglio prints, engraved or etched. For an unknown reason they were never printed, and the book circulated without images. In this copy, an early owner drew a figure on one of the blank pages.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
