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: Shakespeare in the Park
In 1954, impresario Joe Papp began a summer tradition of staging free outdoor performances of Shakespeare, inaugurating the Public Theater’s beloved Shakespeare in the Park festival. Pentagram partner Paula Scher, whose relationship with the Public spans four decades, has designed a new identity for the series for thirty consecutive summers. Each campaign is customized to the season’s theme, creating a highly visible graphic vocabulary for outdoor advertising, social media, and on-site signage.
