The Other Letters: Women Printers in the Rare-Book World
Book exhibitions and lecture’s program Palafoxiana and Lafragua Libraries, Puebla, México Beginning on March 8, 2008.
Posted on 23 February 2008 by Marina Garone Gravier,
With this exhibition we want to present an aspect of the history of books and printing which is practically unknown in the Iberoamerican world: prints in which the professional, intellectual and economic life of women is reflected. In this exhibition, a total of 63 works printed by Spanish, Mexican, Flemish, and French women, undertaken between the sixteenth and the nineteenth centuries, will be presented.
It will be shown, for the first time in Latin America, iconographic and typographical material from the Plantin-Moretus Museum; the Sala Temática de Artes Gráficas de la Diputación de Lérida; the Reial Acadèmia de Bones Lletres; the Fundición Tipográfica Bauer; as well as some materials from La Purísima Coronada, a Mexican Printing Shop from XIX Century.
The activities are organized by the Ministry of Culture of the State of Puebla and the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla and have the support of the Spanish Embassy in México and the Biográficas Project (History of the Latin-American Women Graphic Designers).
