SUMMARY:The Limited Editions Club oxymoron: the affordable livre d’artiste
DESCRIPTION:This paper will present the idiosyncratic publishing model of the Limited Editions Club of New York and will focus on the four books which were illustrated by the British artist Charles Mozley (1914–1991). Founded by George Macy in the depression year of 1929\, the Limited Editions Club was a subscription based service committed to supply its members one beautiful book each month\, in a limited print run of 1500 copies. The Club has published more than 600 titles over its 80 years of existence and has commissioned a profusion of prominent artists\, illustrators and designers like Matisse\, Picasso\, W. A. Dwiggins\, Giovanni Mardersteig and\, later\, Cartier-Bresson and Mapplethorpe. \nCharles Mozley illustrated four books for the Limited Editions Club: Man and Super­man by G.B. Shaw in 1962\, Galsworthy’s The Man of Property in 1964\, The Invisible Man by H.G Wells in 1967 and The Captain’s Daughter and Other Stories by Pushkin in 1971. \n________ \nCătălina Zlotea is a PhD student in the Department of Typography and Graphic Communication at the University of Reading. Her research investigates the life and work of Charles Mozley\, artist\, illus­trator\, printmaker\, and designer. \nPlease join the seminar here using Microsoft Teams.

SUMMARY:The Transformative Female Publishers of Post-Franco Spain. Online research seminar by Dr Marta Simó Comas
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will provide an overview of the role played by women publishers in the post-Franco publishing industry and the way in which they engaged intellectually and politically with the profession. In particular\, we will consider the cultural practices of two emblematic publishing houses founded and run by women (Rosa Regàs’ La Gaya Ciencia and Esther Tusquets’ Editorial Lumen)\, and how these contributed both to the emergence of a new progressive and critical attitude among the public\, and to the genesis of a new cultural and social paradigm. \nDr Marta Simó Comas is lecturer in Spanish Culture in the Department of Languages and Cultures at the University of Reading. Please join the seminar here using Microsoft Teams.
