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.

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
2. BWORDS_180314_12.JPG: Investigating Physical Evidence
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.
Multi Column: Number of columns of thumbnails to appear per page (normally defaults to 3): [1 col] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]
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.
