Posada's broadsheets : Mexican popular imagery, 1890-1910
\"Close examination of Posada's work in context, including shocking crimes, executions, folkloric subjects, bandits, the coming of the Revolution, sources of Posada's style, etc., which help in understanding his spontaneous working-class outlook\"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58. http://www.loc.gov/hlas
Book
Citizens in a Strange Land
In Citizens in a Strange Land , Hermann Wellenreuther
examines the broadsides-printed single sheets-produced by the
Pennsylvania German community. These broadsides covered topics
ranging from local controversies and politics to devotional poems
and hymns. Each one is a product of and reaction to a particular
historical setting. To understand them fully, Wellenreuther
systematically reconstructs Pennsylvania's print culture, the
material conditions of life, the problems German settlers faced,
the demands their communities made on the individual settlers, the
complications to be overcome, and the needs to be satisfied. He
shows how these broadsides provided advice, projections, and
comment on phases of life from cradle to grave.

The Declaration in Script and Print
Perhaps the single most important founding document of the
United States of America, the Declaration of Independence became
both a work of art and a mass-market commodity during the
nineteenth century. In this book, graphic arts historian John
Bidwell traces the fascinating history of Declaration prints and
broadsides and reveals the American public's changing attitudes
toward this iconic text.
The new and improved intaglio, letterpress, and lithographic
printing technologies of the nineteenth century led to increasingly
elaborate reproductions of the Declaration. Some were touted as
precious relics; others were aimed at the bottom of the market.
Rival publishers claimed to have produced the definitive
visualization of the document, attacking the character and
patriotism of other firms even as they promoted their own artistic
abilities and attention to detail. Meanwhile, painter John Trumbull
attempted to sell subscriptions for an engraved version of his
Declaration painting, and John Quincy Adams-then secretary of
state-commissioned an official 1823 edition in response to the
feuding facsimilists seeking government patronage. Bidwell unravels
the intricate web of rivalries surrounding these competing
publications.
Featuring a comprehensive checklist of nearly two hundred prints
and broadsides drawn from various collections, this engrossing
history highlights the proliferation and widespread influence of
the Declaration of Independence on American popular culture. It
will be equally esteemed by general readers interested in American
history, print and autograph collectors, and art and book
historians.

Broadsheets
A landmark study of single-sheet publishing during the first two centuries after the invention of printing. Long disregarded as ephemera or cheap print, broadsheets emerge as both a crucial communication medium and an essential underpinning of the economics of the publishing industry.; Readership: Historians of the book, media history and news, bibliographers and librarians, and those interested in the politics, government, religion and literature of the early modern period.

The Kipper und Wipper Inflation, 1619-23
This book is an economic analysis of theKipper und Wipperinflation of 1619-23, the most serious German inflation before the hyperinflation following World War I, with a particular focus on how it affected people's lives and behavior. The volume features full-page reproductions of rare contemporary broadsheets-early forerunners of the modern newspaper-with striking illustrations and engaging texts. Published here in their entirety and for the first time in superb English translation, they are a unique window on society at the time and give a voice to the people who were actually devastated by the inflation.

Fashion and Popular Print in Early Modern England
Fashion featured in black-letter broadside ballads over a hundred years before fashion magazines appeared in England. In the seventeenth century, these single-sheet prints contained rhyming song texts and woodcut pictures, accessible to almost everyone in the country. Dress was a popular subject for ballads, as well as being a commodity with close material and cultural connections to them.This book analyses how the distinctive words and images of these ballads made meaning, both in relation to each other on the ballad sheet and in response to contemporary national events, sumptuary legislation, religious practice, economic theory, the visual arts and literature. In this context, Clare Backhouse argues, seventeenth-century ballads increasingly celebrated the proliferation of print and fashionable dress, envisioning new roles for men and women in terms of fashion consumption and its importance to national prosperity. The book demonstrates how the hitherto overlooked but extensive source material that these ballads offer can enrich the histories of dress, art and culture in early modern England.

Pattern diversify patch antenna for sub-6 GHz 5G communication applications
A dual-port single-layer pattern diversified microstrip patch antenna for sub-6 GHz 5G communication applications is proposed. The design consists of a notch-loaded annular ring with a separately excited slot-loaded circular patch within its aperture. The broadside radiation is achieved by exciting the dominant
TM
11
mode of the circular patch while
TM
31
mode of the annular ring is excited to obtain conical radiation patterns. The two modes of radiating elements operate at a frequency of 3.5 GHz which lies in the sub-6 GHz 5G frequency band. The measured results of the fabricated prototype are in good agreement with the simulated ones. The gain of the broadside beam is 7.2 dBi while the gain for the conical one is 4.6 dBi. The isolation between the two ports remains below − 28 dB.

A symmetrical SIW-based leaky-wave antenna with continuous beam scanning from backward-to-forward through broadside
In this paper, a leaky-wave antenna based on substrate integrated waveguide is introduced with continuous beam scanning from backward-to-forward through broadside. A new two-part unit cell has been used to achieve the continuous beam without drop of gain in the broadside. This suppresses the open stop-band, the broadside radiation gain would be without a drop, and the side lobe level is kept low. The wide operating bandwidth is obtained, which covers from 11.7 to 19.6 GHz. It is observed that S
11
is below − 10 dB from 11.5 to 20 GHz, and the average S
21
is − 8.5 dB from 11.5 to 20 GHz. Scanning of this antenna is continuous and covers all angles between − 61° to + 34°. The gain in the direction of the broadside beam is equal to 14.2 dB and without a drop. The gain changes are low in the operating frequency and the average gain is 14.1 dB in this antenna, also the average side lobe level is − 12 dB. The average radiation efficiency of this proposed antenna is 73%.
