Library exhibit to highlight handmade artists' prints

Long before there was digital animation or Photoshop, many artists illustrated stories by hand- with engravings, etchings, lithographs and hand tinting of photographs and drawings.

An exhibition of prints by wellknown artists will go on display in the C.K. and Teresa Tseng Galley of Cal State Northridge's Oviatt Library from Sept. 12 to Dec. 22.

Among work drawn from the university's collections to be on display as part of the show, "Remarkable Impressions," are prints by William Hogarth, George Cruikshank, William Blake, Honore Daumier, Kate Greenaway and more. Their prints depict the social issues, cautionary tales, satire, politics, fashion and famous stories of the 18th and 19th centuries.

A reception celebrating the exhibition's opening will take place at 6 p.m. on Tues., Sept. 19 in the gallery. Parking is available on campus for $4. For more information about the exhibition, call (818) 677-2638.
