Women Printers Digital Collection

14 Items

The Women Printers Project illustrates women’s contributions to print culture from 1478-1715. It currently surveys the materials printed by five printers: the collective of the Ripoli Nuns in Florence, Charlotte Guillard in Paris, and Tace Sowle, Anne Maxwell, and Elinor James in London. The fifty volumes that make up our examples of their work run the gamut of early modern production practices in genre, length, quality, and size. This digital collection provides a valuable snapshot into the world of early print with women at the lens.
