Library of Congress print curator Sara Duke on LOC's Oliphant collections

Library of Congress print curator Sara Duke says about the LOC's holdings, 

The Library mounted Oliphant's Anthem, a retrospective in 1998, which is still online at https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/oliphant/. Oliphant drew a number of works for the catalog book publication, which included an interview. My predecessor, Harry Katz, was the lead curator for it. 

The Library has a large Oliphant collection, obtained both by gift and purchase: https://www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?q=oliphant%20pat. There is also a map case drawer full of unprocessed sketchbooks in the Art Wood Collection. 

The Library possesses the Pulitzer Prize winning drawing, which I just happened to bring out for a display last week. He was still using chemigraphic paper (Duoshade and Craftint were two of the brand names) in 1966, so the drawing has condition problems.

Researchers may make an appointment to see them using the Prints & Photographs Division Ask-a-Librarian service at https://ask.loc.gov/prints-photographs.

Editor's note: 33 books by Oliphant, including some surprising titles, are also in the Library.
