Brunhoff (Le Voyage de Babar, 1932), Ludwig Bemelmans (Madeline, 1939), Johnny Gruelle (Raggedy Ann in Cookieland, 1931), Jessie Wilcox Smith (Alice in Wonderland, 1923), Wanda Gàg (Snow White, 1938), Arthur Rackham (Little Miss Muffett, 1913), and Walter Harrison Cady (Adventures of Peter Cottontail, 1914), are among the superb works on view.
This exhibition was co-organized with the Brandywine River Museum.
