As part of the celebration of Davidson Library’s acquisition of its 3 millionth volume, The History of Books and Material Texts RFG is holding an interactive presentation on two book artists from the beginning and end of the 19th century: William Blake and William Morris.  Though their bookmaking philosophies and styles were quite different, both have had lasting influences in the world of artists’ books.
