This exhibit chronicles the growth of English and American publishers' binding from its infancy in the 1830s to its decline in the early 20th century.

Fifty two letters from writer, reformer, and artist Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) to her close friend Martha Luther Lane (1862-1948) written between 1882 and 1889. The letters, some of which are illustrated, address work, marriage, motherhood and depression. The collection also includes images of 15 trade cards Gilman designed.

To commemorate the 400th anniversary of his death, this exhibit invites a consideration of how Cervantes—through Don Quixote—has stirred visual artists to represent his most famous characters and their “adventures” over the centuries.

Highlights of the John A. Williams archive, including manuscripts, drafts, notes, photographs, and correspondence.
