Soon after its inception in 1731, administrators of the Library Company of Philadelphia, a subscription library–turned–independent research library specializing in American history and culture, collected graphic material.1 In more recent decades, the Library’s administration hired a Curator of Prints to steward the collection, formed a Graphic Arts Department, and implemented a Visual Culture Program (VCP), including an associated fellowship.
