Through the display of works by eight little-known women artists commissioned by the American Book Company, Creating Childhood Wonder: Women Illustrators of the Golden Age seeks to examine the impact of these individuals in the education of the United States’ youth during the early twentieth century.
This exhibition celebrates the artistry of these women and how they broke boundaries within a male-dominated field, contributing a special sense of magic and whimsy to childhood educational materials.
