Printing Maps on Oversized Paper: The 18th century paper mills in the Toscolano district
January 9th at 1pm Eastern
Speakers: Dr. Silvia Pugliese, Head of Preservation and Conservation, Marciana National Library
Carissa Pastuch, Reference Librarian, Geography & Maps Division, Library of Congress
The Marciana National Library in Venice has the six original 16th century wood blocks carved for creating this map, and two copies of the printed map. Dr. Pugliese has traced the identity of the mill that supplied the paper for this map, using original sources from the State Archives of Venice, and examining registers and paper samples that are still present in the city records of the historic mills in the valleys around the Lake Garda in the Veneto.
Carissa Pastuch from G&M will discuss how the Library of Congress acquired their copy of the Hâc? Ahmed map.
