With halftone printing yet to be invented, the pictures in these souvenir albums were redrawn from photographs so that they could be mass-produced on lithographic presses.
With halftone printing yet to be invented, the pictures in these souvenir albums were redrawn from photographs so that they could be mass-produced on lithographic presses. Printers used a multi-pass process to achieve a range of tones so that, when varnished, the pictures looked like photographs. The introduction of the Kodak Box Brownie in 1900, as well as new printing technology, led to their demise. A miniature album on the Statue of Liberty is stitched into the center of the Paper.

Retrospective: London Design Festival
London Design Festival has been an annual celebration of the power of creativity for over 20 years. Since 2008, Pentagram partner Domenic Lippa has served as the LDF’s creative director, responsible every September for the design of a new visual identity. By inventively remixing a few key elements — typography, a signature red (“the colour of London”), and LDF's simple monogram — the program unifies hundreds of events while reaffirming London’s status as a global design capital.
