Dr Alexandra Franklin, A surprising journey to the third dimension
Librarians make every effort to keep things flat. When is it OK to go 3D? We will take a behind-the-scenes and inside-the-lines look at often-neglected collections of printing surfaces in one library, the Bodleian in Oxford. These testify to the three-dimensional history and nature of the printed page.
Alexandra is Co-ordinator of the Bodleian Libraries Centre for the Study of the Book and the Bodleian Bibliographical Press. She is the author of 'Woodcuts,' in Book Parts (2019) and of 'Casting Off: a journey in five starts,' in the journal Inscription 1, 2020.
