Let's Go Navy... The Art of the Navy Recruiting Poster is now on exhibit on the 1st floor of M.D. Anderson Library. This exhibition showcases vintage Navy recruiting posters from the Floyd Glass Navy Recruiting Literature Collection, with images ranging from the patriotic to the exotic to the sentimental. Contemporary Navy recruiting posters and print advertisements provide a visual counterpoint. Let's Go Navy... will be on display through May 15, 2009.
The leopard! The unicorn! The sea-horse! Animals both real and imaginary may be viewed in this exhibit of woodcuts from Edward Topsell’s The Historie of Foure-footed Beastes and The Historie of Serpents. The two magnificently illustrated books were originally published in 1607 and 1608. In 1658, they were reissued as part of a three-volume work, The History of Four-footed Beasts and Serpents, a copy of which is owned by the University of Houston Libraries.
