Maine's Lithographic Landscapes: Town & City Views, 1830-1870
Thursday, December 12, 2019
**Maine's Lithographic Landscapes can be viewed online at: https://www.bowdoin.edu/art-museum/catalogues/maine-lithographs/ **
This exhibition explores the history of Maine town and city views published during the first fifty years of statehood through major lithographs and several related paintings. These works, selected by Earle Shettleworth Jr. H'08, Maine State Historian, provide insights into how these growing centers of commerce and industry viewed themselves and wished to be viewed by others.
