The design & printing of ephemera in Britain & America,
1720
-1920 / Graham Hudson.
"Ephemera has been collected for many years but only comparatively recently has it been widely accepted as material for academic study This book is new in that it discusses ephemera as an aspect of design history, showing how function, process and period have effected the changing appearance of billheads, trade cards, flyers, playbills and other ephemera. Ideas travelled in both directions across the Atlantic. American founders devised wholly original new typefaces and these were imported into Britain; yet the development of expertise in designing with these new faces depended on printers learning from one another, and the first scheme of specimen exchange that successfully achieved this was wholly devised and administered from London. [...] Richly illustrated with letterforms, engravings, drawings and the reproduction of over 250 items of ephemera, this is a book for collectors, students, design historians and all those with an interest in the visual arts."--Provided by the publisher.

Women and English piracy, 1540-
1720
: partners and victims of crime /John C. Appleby.
"Piracy was one of the most gendered criminal activities during the early modern period. As a form of maritime enterprise and organized criminality, it attracted thousands of male recruits whose venturing acquired a global dimension as piratical activity spread across the oceans and seas of the world. At the same time, piracy affected the lives of women in varied ways. Adopting a fresh approach to the subject, this study explores the relationships and contacts between women and pirates during a prolonged period of intense and shifting enterprise. Drawing on a wide body of evidence and based on English and Anglo-American patterns of activity, it argues that the support of female receivers and maintainers was vital to the persistence of piracy around the British Isles at least until the early seventeenth century. The emergence of long-distance and globalized predation had far-reaching consequences for female agency. Within colonial America, women continued to play a role in networks of support for mixed groups of pirates and sea rovers; at the same time, such groups of predators established contacts with women of varied backgrounds in the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean. As such, female agency formed part of the economic and social infrastructure which supported maritime enterprise of contested legality. But it co-existed with the victimisation of women by pirates, including the Barbary corsairs. As this study demonstrates, the interplay between agency and victimhood was manifest in a campaign of petitioning which challenged male perceptions of women's status as victims. Against this background, the book also examines the role of a small number of women pirates, including the lives of Mary Read and Ann Bonny, while addressing the broader issue of limited female recruitment into piracy."--P. [4] of cover.
