Time:11 a.m.-12:15 p.m.
Description:"Love Among the Ruins: A Conspectus of Wood Type" is a talk presented by David Shields. Throughout the 19th century, the proliferation of wood type played an integral role in the creation of American visual culture. Through a physical engagement of production processes, Shields charts the impact the tools and processes had on driving the derivation of styles throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Shields is associate professor and the chair of the Department of Graphic Design at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.
