About our Graphics
Our symposium graphics were designed by Nicole Caddell of Grid Girl Studio. The main symposium image is a silhouette portrait of Paradis from the title page of her song collection, Zwölf Lieder auf Ihrer Reise in Musik Gesetzt (Leipzig: Breitkopf, 1786). The background is a detail from Cappi's 1805 Grundriss der Stadt Wien.
