A free lecture by Dr Helen Pierce of the University of Aberdeen, organised as part of the King's Museum lecture series
A free lecture looking at the ways in which printed images circulated, and were encountered, in late Elizabethan and Jacobean London. From the ‘particular ballad else, with mine own picture on the top’ imagined by Shakespeare’s Falstaff, to the ‘bawdy pictures’ of the friar and the nun mentioned in Jonson’s The Alchemist, such artworks were a feature of cultural and social life in the city, and were used to persuade and entertain a broad urban audience along moral, political and religious lines.
