Lithography and Britain 1900-1920听
Supervised by Tom Young
Advised by David Peters Corbett听
Exploring the initiatives of the Senefelder Club for the Advancement of Artistic Lithography and its members, my doctoral dissertation traces the development of the revival of artistic lithography from the restructuring of lithographic teaching at the turn of the century through the revival’s zenith during the First World War.
The paper seeks to reconstruct artistic and social networks and a lithographic rhetoric integral to the revival鈥檚 success, linking the revival to the period’s wider reform movements and collective experiences.
Ultimately, the study demonstrates lithography as an under-researched yet fruitful lens to view early 20th century Britain鈥檚 cultural landscape.
