SUMMARY:Christian Volbracht  - Mycological Illustration: History\, Techniques\, Problems
DESCRIPTION:In his lecture  Christian Volbracht will give an overview of the history of illustration of fungi in printed books. He will present numerous examples of printed drawings and paintings of mushrooms from Europe  America and Asia  covering five centuries  from 1491 to the present. He will explain the various printing techniques from woodcuts to colored copper engravings to colored lithography and modern printing  describing the progress of the different illustration methods. Of particular interest are the colored copper engravings of fungi in the 18th century by Bulliard  Sowerby and Schaeffer  which are still important today as first diagnoses of new species. Volbracht will also go over problems which can arise when using the old figures of mushrooms. Christian Volbracht is a German journalist  amateur mycologist  and author and specialist in old mushroom literature. He has worked as a news journalist for the German Press Agency dpa for more than 40 years  including ten years as head of the agency’s Paris office. Parallel to his career as a journalist  he collected mushroom books  compiled an important private library and built an online shop for antiquarian mushroom books. Eventually  he published MykoLibri  a comprehensive illustrated bibliography of his collection  covering works from the 15th to the 20th centuries. The two volumes of MykoLibri are now recognized as the standard bibliography for mycological literature – for collectors  dealers  researchers and librarians. Recently  Volbracht wrote a book on the scientific and cultural history of truffles. He lives in Hamburg  Germany.  \nThis lecture was recorded and is viewable to active members who are logged in.
