Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Norman W. and Glenville Starr Wilson Room, located separately from the Special Collections and Archives Research Center in The Valley Library, is the result of a gift of books, art, and furnishings donated by Norman W. Wilson, retired Professor of English at the University and his wife Glenville. The couple spent many years traveling in England, were attracted to 18th and 19th century British history, and began collecting prints, artifacts, and volumes from the period. In 1993, Wilson asked the Oregon State University Libraries if it might be interested in receiving a portion of his collection for use by students and scholars who would study the period reflected by his holdings. Following conversations with the University Librarian and others on campus, Mr. Wilson decided to provide the collection along with funds to furnish a room dedicated to its presentation. The Norman W. and Glenville Starr Wilson Room is the result.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

The Wilson Room Prints Collection consists of nearly 200 prints from the late 18th century and early 19th century. All prints were produced in Britain, and the collection is a broad body of examples from popular artists of the day, primarily William Hogarth but also including Thomas Rowlandson, Joseph Nash, and W. H. Bartlett. A number of different printing processes are present, including engravings, etchings, aquatints, lithographs, and mezzotints, and many are hand-colored. Prints are listed with artist, then engraver's names.

A number of artists and engravers are represented in the collection, but it is dominated by prints from William Hogarth. Hogarth's popularity during this time was unrivaled, and his satirical commentary on morality and social mores of the day was often imitated. The collection includes full or partial sets of his famous series "The Rake's Progress" and "The Harlot's Progress" as well as several prints of his well-known Beer Street and Gin Lane. Particularly notable in the collection are selections from Joseph Nash's Mansions of England, a triumph of lithography produced in the 1840s over several series. The hand-tinted prints depict famous estates and castles of England in medieval and early modern settings. Also notable are hand-colored aquatints from Thomas Rowlandson's Syntax series.
