Publisher's Synopsis
The New Britain Museum of American Art's Sanford B. D. Low Illustration Collection is among the finest in the country, with 2,000 examples representing a range of media and subject matter by the major figures in American illustration. While there are a handful of existing publications that chronicle the leading American illustrations of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this volume, featuring new, original research, will serve as both a formal record of the top works in the Museum's collection and a tribute to the great illustrators of our day.
