Virtual Event | Free

Join Curator of Graphic Arts and Director of the Visual Culture Program Erika Piola as she explores the visual culture and history of all kinds of 19th-century wrappers in the holdings of the Graphic Arts Department. From illustrated wrapping papers to advertising envelopes to paper containers of whatchamacallits, Piola will discuss the importance of these ephemeral pieces as objects of consumer culture and practical, and sometimes zany, works of popular art.
