 The Society of Printers

 April 10 — the 45rd annual Dwiggins Lecture – Rick Poynor: David King  
[David King](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_King_(graphic_designer)) was a british designer, graphic activist, visual historian. The very model of an engaged, politicised, protean, intellectually ambitious, visually inventive designer, an exceptional and exceptionally inspiring figure, whose work remains timely. His book *[The Commissar Vanishes: The Falsification of Photographs and Art in Stalin’s Russia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Commissar_Vanishes)* which has particular resonance today as technology continues to make “alternative” visual facts which distort historical record more difficult to parse and debunk.  
 [Rick Poynor](https://designobserver.com/profile/rickpoynor/81/) is an author, critic, lecturer and curator, specialising in design, photography and visual culture. He is Professor of Design and Visual Culture at the University of Reading in the UK. Rick will present at the Boston Public Library.
