The Business of Satirical Prints in Late-Georgian EnglandProduction

The Business of Satirical Prints in Late-Georgian England: Production [This chapter examines how late-Georgian satirical designs and prints were made. Its central concern is how and in what ways the cost and physical properties of these raw materials limited, constrained, and empowered actors engaged in the production of late-Georgian satirical prints. It describes how transforming a satirical design into reproducible form and reproducing a satirical print from an etched or engraved plate were both time-consuming and expensive activities. It discusses the raw materials used in these processes—including copper, paper, ink, and colour—and how each was made, supplied, and used. It argues that the cost and physical characteristics of these raw materials created opportunities and challenges that in turn shaped and constrained both the form and reproduction of satirical prints.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter examines how late-Georgian satirical designs and prints were made. Its central concern is how and in what ways the cost and physical properties of these raw materials limited, constrained, and empowered actors engaged in the production of late-Georgian satirical prints. It describes how transforming a satirical design into reproducible form and reproducing a satirical print from an etched or engraved plate were both time-consuming and expensive activities. It discusses the raw materials used in these processes—including copper, paper, ink, and colour—and how each was made, supplied, and used. It argues that the cost and physical characteristics of these raw materials created opportunities and challenges that in turn shaped and constrained both the form and reproduction of satirical prints.]
