\nAbout the Collection<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The Tatler-Burgess Collection is the fruit of many years of work. This exciting library of pieces, some of which date back to the middle of the 15th century includes woodcuts by Albrecht D\u00c3\u00bcrer and others offering glimpses of the artistic taste of the late medieval\/early renaissance period.<\/p>\n

The collection boasts rarities of unsurpassed quality such as a leaf from the Saxon Chronicles and leaves from Sebastian Brandt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Ship of Fools, a very popular allegorical work in its day, depicting frowned upon vices and sins.<\/p>\n

Those interested in printing history will enjoy incunabula; leaves from various important bibles and other works; woodcuts, copperplate and steel engravings as well as lithographs. An additional thirty pieces are on exhibit in the VSU Archives and Special Collections on the 4th floor.<\/p>\n

Scholars will be able to compare works spanning hundreds of years and covering diverse topics and will be given the opportunity to handle work not normally found outside of museums or major collections.
\nVisitors will be able to enjoy many antique maps some by important cartographers such as Blaeuw, Bonne and Vaugondy. Research carried out by Douglas Carlson, a History Major senior, will help us understand the salience of some of the pieces shown.<\/p>\n

Artists will not be disappointed either with Albrecht D\u00c3\u00bcrer, Virgil Solis, Hans Springklee being represented alongside work by Picasso, Matisse, Dufuy, Bonnard, and Maillol.
\nThis is an exciting opportunity to be able to study important and rare works spanning over 500 years of printing history.<\/p>\n

This important exhibition is made possible through the generosity of Andrew and Kathy Tatler-Burgess, the Valdosta State University Ar-chives, and faculty, staff, and students.
\nSpecial thanks to Douglas Carlson for digitizing items and historical research.<\/p>\n
