Enchanting Simplicity: Children's Book Illustration Past & Present

Although the Athenaeum does not have a children’s lending library, there is considerable evidence that Athenaeum librarians and members collected important examples of children’s books, both illustrated and plain text. This exhibition brings together the Athenaeum legacy collection of children’s books, including a large donation from the Koblenzer Family, among others. Combined with the legacy collection will be examples of contemporary work in children’s illustration.
