Printing Ink Manufacturing In Britain And Its Impact On Print Culture And Society: 1850-1900

1850-1900年英国的油墨制造改变了世界各地印刷品的生产、外观和使用。我的项目是第一个探索用来制作文本和图像的墨水：它们是如何产生的，这有什么重要的？通过研究两家最重要的油墨制造商的档案，我的研究解释了工业油墨是如何从根本上将印刷品变成化学工业产品的。这种生产方式的转变改变了印刷品、英国文化和工业社会。通过我的新镜头，物质性的概念被重新想象，将墨水本身转化为遗产材料。

Printing ink manufacturing in Britain 1850-1900 transformed the production, appearance, and uses of printed material across the world. My project is the first to explore the inks from which texts and images were made: how were they produced, and why does that matter? By studying the two most substantial ink manufacturers' archives, my research explains how industrial ink fundamentally changed printed material into chemical-industrial products. This production change is a paradigm-shift which altered printed material, British culture, and industrial society. Through my novel lens, the concept of materiality is reimagined, transforming ink into a heritage material in and of itself.
