The Philadelphia Print Shop, Ltd. would like to invite proposals for papers for the upcoming North American Print Conference (NAPC), Impressions of Philadelphia, to be held 13-16 September 2007 in Philadelphia, PA. Since its first conference at Winterthur in 1970, the NAPC has generated numerous symposia and books on the history of American graphics. For this event, we ask scholars to focus on Philadelphia, considering such topics as the business of print- and mapmaking and the artistry and innovation of printed works on paper, as well as the consumption of Philadelphia-produced prints and maps from 1683 through 1950. We look forward to a conference filled with diverse topics that can renew inquiry into the rich history of Philadelphia prints and maps and generate a corresponding book of essays.
Proposals should be received by December 15, 2006. Selections will be made and participants notified by the end of January 2007.
Submissions can be emailed or sent through the postal mail. Hard copies may be sent to
