Graphic Landscape: The Landscape Print Series in Britain, c. 1775–1850
The British Library and Paul Mellon Centre are delighted to announce a call for papers for a series of online gatherings (November 2-11, 2021).
We hope to showcase new research on landscape and topographical print series and to present new ways of thinking about how and why the ‘big names’ of the period such as Turner, Constable, Girtin and Cotman stand out (or not) in this context. We would hope that the subject will appeal to scholars of publishing, literature, and book history, as well as to landscape art historians.
We are pleased to invite proposals for 15-minute papers. These might offer close readings of indi- vidual sets of such prints, whether familiar or obscure.
We are just as interested in approaches that look at these kinds of graphic series from a broader perspective, and that address their production, consumption and appeal within the wider realms of print publishing, print culture, publishing, antiquarianism and artistic practice. Similarly, we encourage proposals that place such series in the context of eighteenth/nineteenth-century debates about rural, regional, metropolitan and imperial identity, and in relation to recent discus- sions on the environment and the Anthropocene.
Most of all, we encourage original, scholarly and creative approaches that allow us to see the land- scape print series in new ways, and to place such work in productive dialogue with the other kinds of contemporary landscape imagery – painted, water-coloured, or drawn – with which we may now be more familiar.
This programme of seminars is being convened by Mark Hallett of the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art and Felicity Myrone of the British Library
