Wohlbrück Jr. (1906–1985).
	Paul Revere Collection	Paul Revere. The name evokes much for historians, silver collectors, art historians and printmakers. Among his other trades were dentistry, ventures into an iron and brass foundry, innovator of rolled copper and, of course, ardent patriot. While Revere (1735-1818) is most famously known for his legendary midnight ride as well as his three-dimensional wares, his prints and works on paper remain some of the most iconic images of the late eighteenth-century. This online inventory celebrates the extensive Revere collection, including items within eight boxes in the Graphic Arts collection.

He opened a modest photo studio on Main Street and married a local girl in 1902. Connect

	European Political Prints	This digital collection of over 200 graphic arts items dating from 1720 to 1843 represents a traditionally out of scope area of the Society’s major collections, but it remains a rich resource for those studying the cultural capital of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. While the advent of American caricatures and cartoons is found with Paul Revere, William Charles and the comic popularity of David Claypoole Johnston, this collection traces the source of such artists to the Transatlantic world.
	Drawings	Digital collection of 550 drawings in graphite, pen, ink and wash, chalk, watercolor and charcoal. The collection ranges from the late 1700s to the early 20th century. Connect
