Visual Culture CollagePlease join us for an evening featuring Donald Cresswell and Christopher Lane, co-owners of the Philadelphia Print Shop since 1982. Dr. Cresswell and Mr. Lane have worked as curators, lecturers, writers, and appraisers – most notably appearing on the Antiques Roadshow. In addition to talking about why they were drawn to the print world, they will highlight their favorite historical prints and discuss why these prints are important. Audience members will have the chance to interact with the speakers during an extended question and answer session. This event kicks off the Library Company's new Visual Culture Program, to promote the interpretation, collection, and care of historical visual materials.
