12 MAY � 27 AUGUST
NATIONAL GALLERY OF CANADA LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES
Open during Reading Room hours (Wednesday to Friday)
This exhibition explores the omnipresence of the �picturesque� in print culture in the 19th century. In these books and magazines, an increasingly flexible definition of the term resulted in imagery that ranged from stereotypical landscapes to such seemingly unlikely �picturesque� subjects as urban views and even heavy industry.
