Drawings and watercolors on loan from the collection of the Gennadius Library, Athens, in cooperation with the American School of Classical Studies and the Princeton Art Museum.

Best known as a master of comic verse and "inventor" of the limerick, Edward Lear was also a master watercolorist whose travels through Greece from 1848-1864 produced some three thousand paintings, 35 of which are on display at the Arthur Ross Gallery.

Included in this exhibition, on special loan from the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology, are archival photographs and ancient Greek pottery. From the Academy of Natural Sciences, books containing natural history illustrations by Edward Lear are on display.
