Committee's Choice: Selections from the Sanford B.D. Low Memorial Collection of American Illustration
Through Aug. 28, 2011

Believed to be the nation's first museum-based collection focusing on American illustrations from the 19th century to the Present, the Sanford B.D. Low Memorial Collection of American Illustration now consists of more than 1,500 illustrations thanks to the generosity and dedication of the Committee members themselves. This exhibition is comprised of the favorite illustrations of current Low Illustration Committee members. They have, in their labels, explained the historical significance of each illustration as well as why these particular artworks appealed to them.
