While specialising in nineteenth and twentieth century prints, Frances Carey has also published catalogues of several important exhibitions held at the British Museum in recent years, such as “German Printmaking in the Age of Dürer”, “Collecting the Twentieth Century”, “Modern Scandinavian Prints”, and “The Apocalypse and the Shape of Things to Come”, which incorporates many Medieval and Renaissance images and opened in December, 1999.

Introduced by the Principal of the University, Professor C Duncan Rice, the lecture is entitled ‘Non-intimidation by Doom: Rhetoric and Image in the Representation of the Apocalypse.”
 

The lecture is free and open to the public.  It will take place in King’s College G8, in the Quadrangle of King’s College, Old Aberdeen.  A wine reception will follow the lecture.
