Princeton’s Graphic Arts blog directs us to Flipbook.info, which is devoted to the history of the flipbook (a.k.a. “flick-book,” “folioscope,” or “kinetograph”). The site documents over 5,000 examples dating from 1882, with photos and a few videos, too. There’s so much information that the site is difficult to navigate, but be sure to check out the section on Artist’s Flipbooks.

Vintage Printable is your resource for printable vintage illustration scans. To the best of their knowledge, everything on the site is copyright-free though they do post a well-considered disclaimer that’s worth a read.

The National Gallery of Australia has revamped its website with a new section dedicated to its Kenneth Tyler Printmaking Collection. The collection includes over 7,000 prints, proofs, drawings, etc. from Tyler’s work over the years. The NGA’s website was already a solid resource for images from the collection, but the new site has more documentary resources including video, glossary, bibliography, etc. The enjoyable photo archive allows us to witness the evolution of Tyler’s long collaboration with David Hockney:

Tyler and Hockney working on the Paper Pools series. The Laser Cutter Blog is apparently some kind of online resource for interesting laser-cutting miscellany. Like this excellent laser-cut bookwork by Olafur Elliasson:
This link was suggested by a certain BFF of mine. From illuminated manuscripts and botanical studies to coliseum floorplans and art deco architecture, BibliOdyssey is a great online source for “eclectic historic science and art images from rare books and prints.” No topic or culture is left unrepresented in their accumulation of images from the past. Whether you’re looking for tips on sword fighting or lessons in proportion, they’ve got it at BibliOdyssey. |
