Pictorial Webster's: A Visual Dictionary of Curiosities (Chronicle Books) We're delighted to co-present this event with AIGA/LA, the Los Angeles branch of the professional association for design.  This event will be a fascinating presentation by master letterpress printer and artist John Carrera, whose latest project, Pictorial Webster's, collects 19th century engravings from Webster's Dictionary. Carrera will discuss the 10-year history of this project and the art and craft that go into letterpress printing and the techniques used in this book. John M. Carrera is a printer, book binder and artist who has taught and lectured extensively. He is the founder and proprieter of Quercus Press -- a letterpress and bindery.  He lives in Waltham, Massachusetts. AIGA is committed to furthering excellence in design as a broadly-defined discipline, strategic tool for business and cultural force. AIGA is the place design professionals turn to first to exchange ideas and information, participate in critical analysis and research and advance education and ethical practice.
