"Seeing the World: 1820-1930"An exhibit of twenty-eight permanent collection etchings, lithographs and aquatints created by American and European artists. Often these are scenes sketched when the artists were far from home and later etched and printed. Sometimes the scenes are of familiar territories near their homes.
In 1820, one hundred and ninety-two years ago, overseas travel was not easy. Transportation on tall-masted, sailing ships and stage coach took weeks and often, depending on the distance, months. Health, safety and political issues were numerous. Even in 1930, only eighty-two years ago, in the period between World War I and World War II, at the start of the worldwide economic depression, when commercial flying was risky and railroads still in disarray from war bombings, revolutions, and general sabotage.
