Jon Evans, chief of libraries and archives, coordinated the exhibition and discusses those early documents; his discussion concerns documents associated with the Peale family featured in ‘The Peales in Print: Documenting America’s First Family of Art.’
The Peale family figured prominently in American cultural life from the country’s founding through well into the 19th century. Its multigenerational legacy includes portraiture, history painting, still life, landscape, miniatures, and scientific illustration.
These categories are identified as part of the Peale family’s multigenerational legacy, which extends across portraiture, history painting, still life, landscape, miniatures, and scientific illustration.
Evans’s presentation is scheduled for Thursday, January 7, 2027, from 6:00 to 6:30 p.m.
