Print for everyday life in the 19th century

Paul Stiff, Paul Dobraszczyk, and Mike Esbester suggest that many interactions of everyday life in the nineteenth century were conducted through, and recorded by, ephemeral printed documents, the varied texts and graphic configurations of which made new demands on newly literate audiences.

They think that Victorian ‘information design’, done before the emergence of professional designers, is an intelligent but little known ancestor of today’s graphic design. They aim to show what can be learned about and from it.
