Subseries IV: John Wilkes Exhibit Captions, 1988
Subseries IV: John Wilkes Exhibit Captions, 1988, is arranged chronologically and contains exhibit captions used in the June 19, 1988 Sordoni Art Gallery exhibition, titled, John Wilkes and Isaac Barre: Politics and Controversy in 18th century Graphics. The exhibition was supported in part by a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and organized by Judith H. O’Toole, with guest curators Annie Bohlin and F. Charles Petrillo. Essays from the exhibit were written by Harold Cox, Ph.D, and F. Charles Petrillo. The exhibition program can be located on Omeka, our digital repository’s website. Caution should be taken in regards to the accuracy of this subseries, however, as some details regarding Wilkes’ life are incorrect, with a major example being found within Item 2.39, where the document states that “Hogarth and Wilkes exchanged shots in a duel in October 1762,” in actuality Wilkes exchanged shots with William Talbot.
