Beauty & Bravado Beauty & Bravado in Japanese Woodblock Prints

on display in the

This exhibition presents highlights from a collection of Japanese (and a few Chinese) prints and drawings that Gillett has generously donated to the Graphic Arts Division in honor of former curator Dale Roylance. The entire collection is available for viewing at the Princeton University Digital Library. We are indebted to Laura J. Mueller, a scholar who specializes in Japanese prints from the period 1770-1900. Her essay for this keepsake offers a tantalizing glimpse into the many rich treasures to be found in the gallery and online. It is hoped that you, like the young Gillett, will rush to the library to see and learn more.
