>"The Illustrated Broadside" is the new exhibit at the Wimberly Library's
>Jaffe Atrium Gallery. Broadsides are single sheet printings. The format
>became widely used soon after the development of printing in the Fifteenth
>Century for royal proclamations and official notices, and later evolved
>into a vehicle for political agitation. Today, broadsides are more likely
>to have a literary association, challenging printers to make the most of
>one confined plane, which is a very different challenge than that of a book.
>
>The exhibit features the letterpress work of a wide range of fine presses,
>including Leonard Baskin's Gehenna Press, Terry Chouniard's Wing & the
>Wheel Press, Jim Sheridan's Hatch Show Print, the University of Iowa's
>Center for the Book and local hometown press Red Wagon Bookworks.
>
>The Jaffe Atrium Gallery is located just outside the Jaffe Book Arts
>Collection at the Wimberly Library, Third Floor East. The exhibit, which
>may be viewed during regular library hours, continues at the Wimberly
>Administrative Offices, Second Floor West . If you'd like to see other
>works in the Jaffe Collection, or would like to bring a class by for an
>introduction to the Book Arts, please schedule an appointment by calling
>the Collection at extension 7-0226, or by responding to me by email:
