The Ephemeral Eighteenth Century

Print, Sociability, and the Cultures of Collecting

Description

This book revises the view of printed ephemera as a trivial or disposable by giving a history of its role in eighteenth-century culture. It explores how tickets, playbills and posters became a way of facilitating social interaction and, for collectors, a means of preserving the evanescence of daily life.
