More Fine Prints

The library's collection of American fine prints of the twentieth century was recently enriched by two gifts. Associates trustee Patricia G. England donated a group of nine separate prints, broadsides and press announcements created by noted wood engraver and illustrator Barry Moser, including a fine self-portrait.

David Allen added six more examples to the 39 fine prints he has given since 1988. The latest gift, including works by Isaac Sanger, Jacques Hnizdovsky and Richard Florsheim, as well as three by Washington artist David Zimmerman, enhances a group of images which date from 1924 to the 1970s. The Florsheim print extends to seven the number of color lithographs by this printmaker in the Georgetown collections.
