Summary

• Description from the Elvehjem bulletin/annual report 1993–95: "This exhibition featured prints drawn from an extensive collection from the Cornell Fine Arts Museum of Winter Park, Florida. Thirty-one of the creative years of Homer's work were traced in these prints. They illustrated the Civil War, balls, holidays, factory life, the seasons, landscapes, oceans, children. These fascinating black-and-white narratives told the story of America through three decades. The exhibition tour was coordinated by Smith Kramer Fine Art Services." [p. 113]
