This new invention converted a traditional system of book production that had developed and flourished over the centuries from a handcraft to the mechanical printing press. It was a change that affected not only the livelihood of those who wrote the books and the artists who decorated them, but also the social life of the whole workforce involved in the production of books. This publication traces the activities to which 16th- and 17th-century book artisans had to turn, faced as they were with a dwindling market for manuscripts. Those most affected were the illuminators and scribes who now had to seek alternative ways of making a living and so devise strategems for finding employment in other trades that would benefit from their skills. Thus the reader will discover well-known artists and illuminators finding jobs like adding illustrations to printed books, colouring wood-block prints and designing patterns and motifs for embroideries, tapestries and even glass and metal objects. A most interesting opportunity for illuminators was to get involved with the decorating of fans, a new fashion promoted late in the 17th century by the Sun King Louis XIV himself. In addition to the richly illustrated text, the volume also includes a Register of more than 500 named Illuminators in alphabetical order, giving also their affiliation to their alternative trades and listing personal details including family members and professional associates. The authors Richard and Mary Rouse, who are already widely known for their thorough research into the medieval book trade in Paris with their volume Manuscripts and their Makers, published a similar biographical Register of documented book producers up to the year 1500. With the present publication they are able to reconstruct how much the younger members and relatives of whole families of previous manuscript illuminators were able to continue to contribute to the now newly developing book-trade. This volume is therefore not only a contribution to the history of art and that of the book, but also provides a vivid glimpse into the social history of the period."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Illumination of books and manuscripts, French $z Paris. $z Paris. 650 0 $a Illumination of books and manuscripts, Renaissance $z Paris. $z Paris. 650 0 $a Painters $z Paris $z Paris $v Biography. 650 0 $a Book industries and trade $z Paris $z Paris $x History. 650 7 $a Book industries and trade. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836171 650 7 $a Illumination of books and manuscripts, French. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967289 650 7 $a Illumination of books and manuscripts, Renaissance. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967343 650 7 $a Painters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01050530 651 7 $a France $z Paris. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205283 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Rouse, Mary A., $e author. 830 0 $a Survey of manuscripts illuminated in France ; $v 5. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031752.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7AFFF7EA8FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
