A lecture and workshop by Jeffrey S. Peachey

Jeffrey S. Peachey

On Thursday, November 1st the Brodsky Series for the Advancement of Library Conservation will be pleased to present Jeffrey S. Peachey, a book conservator, tool maker, and historian of the book. In Reconstructing Diderot: Eighteenth Century French Bookbinding, an image-driven, fast-paced overview of eighteenth century French bookbinding, Peachey will examine the larger questions associated with the history of craft and material culture, the transmission of textual information, and, of course, the history of bookbinding.
