Birth of Adam

It is probable that many of the illustrations were the work of Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) one of the most important artists of the renaissance. Because wood-cut blocks (like metal type) employ a raised printing surface (unlike engravings), the metal type and the wood blocks can be set in the same printing chase. The impressions made using this arrangement allow text and illustration to be shown side-by-side. The Nuremberg Chronicle contains over 645 distinct illustrations (with many illustrations used more than once), including a variety of biblical scenes, stylized cityscapes, iconic genealogic trees, battle depictions, and maps (the New World being conspicuous by its absence). The Hardin Library’s copy is available for examination in the rare book room.

[The session provided] “Good solid programming planning guidelines & advice.”

“Thank you for facilitating this initiative.  It came at an opportune time as we are beginning to partner with our local hospital.  It also raised lots of ideas for other partnerships with other health professionals.  We will be brainstorming all the way home!”

We want to encourage you to think about attending the final PPECA train-the-trainer session in your area. Its a great opportunity to get CE credits and learn about multidisciplinary partnership, community education and patient safety — for librarians in any sector. 

The session (rescheduled due to the June floods) will be held:

Tuesday Sept 23 @ Van Buren County Hospital, Keosauqua, IA 11:30 am - 3:00 pm
