Join a Prints & Photographs division specialist in a close look at a group of objects from the collections -- a chance to converse and appreciate together! This month, reference librarian Ryan Brubacher will examine hand drawings and blueprints of designs for a D.C. residence by George N. Ray. Discussion of architectural formats and the blueprint process will fill out a conversation about the practical appeal and aesthetic draw of the 19th century reproduction technology and its continuing legacy into the 21st century.
