This exhibition features work in the series Varie Figure, or Various Figures (1621-1628) by the pre-eminent French printmaker Jacques Callot. The series contains sixteen works pulled from the Museum's permanent collection. Most works feature double images of the same figure. It has been suggested that this series served as a drawing book or model for learning rapid, freehand drawing.
This exhibition features fifteen hand-colored proofs from the Sunday Kewpie comic series, written and illustrated by Rose O'Neill, as well as an additional three proofs from the more modern format Kewpie comic strip, published in the 1930s.
