The Art of Quotation and the Miniaturized Gallery.
Saturday 6 June 2015, 10 – 5pm 
The House of Illustration, London
Peter Otto (Melbourne), David Worrall (Roehampton/Nottingham Trent), Kate Heard (Royal Collection), Susan Matthews (Roehampton), Bethan Stevens (Sussex).
Supported by the University of Roehampton and the Bibliographical Society. Organised with the assistance of House of Illustration.

This session follows two themes:
1.Miniaturization: Drawing on Peter Otto’s work on virtual culture in the Romantic period, is the illustration a form of virtual gallery? How does visual meaning change when an image is resized?
2.The Art of Quotation: How were literary quotations used to conceptualise visual images? How important are framing devices to the meaning of an image?

…and other related questions.

Registration is free, and includes free entry to the main exhibition. You can download the full programme here.

To register, please email Mary.Shannon@roehampton.ac.uk, giving your name, job title, and institution (if applicable).

Lissette Szwydky and Marie Léger-St-Jean are seeking papers to round out a panel entitled “Adapted Materials” that includes presentations on theatrical adaptations and serial novels sold in penny numbers. We wish to convey a historical understanding of adaptation in its numerous forms —including illustration— as a popular and profitable cultural practice.
 
We will submit the panel to the Nineteenth-Century Studies Association’s conference in Boston, March 26-28, 2015.
 
Deadline for paper proposals: September 1, 2014
 
Missed the deadline or can’t make it? We’d still like to hear from all those studying the emergence of a global mass multimedia culture in the form of entertainment industries led by commercial interests, so please get in touch!
