Woodall ([log in to unmask])

The French trade card is the principal object of inquiry. By reading
its forms and formats with and against other representations of trade
and the city such as Cris de Paris and Vues d’optiques, this seminar
presentation hopes to offer an account of the trade card's evolution
in the emergent market culture of eighteenth-century Paris as both
instrument of business and sign of the city.  Issues of time, place,
sight and sound, of history and modernity are highlighted.'

This seminar series has been organised jointly by The Courtauld
Institute of Art Research Forum and University College London.
