C.K. and Teresa Tseng Gallery
An exhibition from
the the Library's collections devoted to the legacy of the great
illustrators of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Included
in the exhibition were examples and explanations of the processes
used to publish prints, including engraving, etching, lithography
and hand-tinting.
Artists on display
included William Hogarth, George Cruikshank, William Blake, Honor
Daumier, and Kate Greenaway. Their prints depict the social issues,
cautionary tales, satire, politics, fashion, and famous stories
of a past era.
This exhibition
was made possible by a generous gift from Gus and
Erika Manders and the Friends of the Oviatt library. Thanks also to
Marion Vogler, Harry Stone, Ruth Globerson, Herbert and Lillian
Palmer, and Norman and Sivia Mann for their donations of collections
to the Library.
