Print Matters: History of Photography in Illustrated Magazines

The Developing Room is co-sponsoring a workshop and two keynote talks addressing histories of the illustrated periodical, to be held at the New York Public Library.
At our workshop, we have asked participants to address a fundamental question: how do we isolate and define the illustrated periodical as an object of research? In approaching this question, presentations and two keynote talks will explore the magazine as a physical object and, in turn, a complex cultural artifact firmly embedded in any one location and time.
