Impressive Textiles: Printing on Fabric

Newberry Library · Near North Side

About This Event

A genuinely obscure corner of print history — five centuries of images, books, and maps printed on cloth instead of paper, from luxury satin state portraits to satirical cotton handkerchiefs, tracing back to devotional images tied to the Shroud of Turin. Like everything at the Newberry, free with no advance registration.
