A description of Ogilby\u2019s methods of publishing, selling, illustrating, and distributing these expensive publications and their contents will be the focus of this talk.<\/p>\n<p>This is a rare opportunity to view and closely examine these volumes, which are English translations of books published in Amsterdam by Jacob von Meurs. Ogilby\u2019s books appear to have been produced using plates from the original Dutch books\u2014an interesting detail about which you\u2019ll want to hear more!<\/p>\n<p>Please join us for coffee and light refreshments at 6:30 PM before the lecture at 7PM in the Reading Room of Special Collections on the 3rd Floor of the UI Main Library.<\/p>\n<p>All are welcome and the lecture is free.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa sponsored events.
