January 29, 2010 - 11:42am — francesca
The new exhibit on Level 2 of Case-Geyer includes books, photographs, letters, and illustrations from the Victorian age. There are some Aubrey Beardsley illustrations, and Oscar Wilde letters, a 1st edition copy of On the Origin of the Species with a photogravure of Darwin by Julia Margaret Cameron, and many fine examples of the book arts.
There are two new movies coming out this Spring about this time period, Creation (about Darwin and the theory of evolution) and The Young Victoria. If you're interested in them, you might check out the exhibit to immerse yourself a little further in Victoriana.
