Class February 27, 2009

In class, Amanda presented Victorian style. She told us about Queen Alexandria Victoria and how that style was very big, elegant, and floral. Type faces of Victorian style were very block-like.  Pages were always almost completely covered with block letters and floral borders.  The Victorian style was influenced by the Spanish, Chinese, and the Islamic. After Amanda's presentation Laura showed us some videos about the printing press. The videos were very interesting and I'm glad that in the videos that we watched, none of the printers had lost any limbs! Then we talked a little bit about early cameras and got to look at a few that Laura brought in.  The printing videos were the most useful thing, It was great to actually see the presses and how they work. I would also like to go to that shop where they used the roll press, I really liked that one!

After the picture was taken, did the film need anything chemically done to it like we do today?
