I
put together an exhibition of photographs at the Norwich School of
Art in c1985. I borrowed albums of early printing from the Norwich
and Norfolk Central Library. A selection of images was photographed
by David Whitworth under the supervision of Gill Doel. I kept a selection
of images on slide for future reference.
A second
show was of photographs of local Tradesmen's Cards The
albums were subsequently destroyed in the Library Fire of 1994 ("the
worst library fire in living memory"). To the best of my knowledge
these representations of historical documents are all that is left
of a rich (and indeed hilarious) collection of printed ephemera. |
