<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>The Lloyd Library
and Museum proudly announces its Spring Exhibits. The Lloyd Gallery will
display the oil paintings of local nature artist, Mary Louise Holt, whose works
depict the wildlife, landscape, and indigenous people that once thrived on the
Ohio lands before European settlement. The opening reception, Saturday,
May 8, 2010, 4–7 p.m., will feature a lecture by the artist, “The Great Ohio
Wilderness and Its Native People.” Another lecture by Miami University
professor Kevin Armitage, “The Nature Study Movement: Its History and Why We
Still Need It,” will cover material in his recent book on 19th century
Americans’ efforts to re-discover what was left of the natural environment and
to escape the industrialized world they had created. Lectures begin at
4:30 p.m. Exhibits will run through August 27, 2010.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>A complementary book
exhibit will feature books from Lloyd’s collection containing narrative
descriptions written by late 18th- and early 19th-century explorers of North
America that Holt used to inform her paintings. In addition, several of
Lloyd’s early 20th century books on Nature Study will be on display, including
works by Liberty Hyde Bailey, Anna Comstock, and other leaders of the movement,
as well as teachers’ guides published by Cornell University, the institutional
leader of the movement, and several books on plants, insects, and fields
written for children. For more information, call 513-721-3707; or, visit
Lloyd’s website at www.lloydlibrary.org.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Courier New"'>The Lloyd Library
and Museum, located at 917 Plum Street, downtown Cincinnati, is a local and
regional treasure. The library was developed in the nineteenth century by
the Lloyd brothers—John Uri, Curtis Gates, and Nelson Ashley to provide
reference sources for Lloyd Brothers Pharmacists, Inc., one of the leading
pharmaceutical companies of the period. Today the library is recognized
worldwide by the scientific community as a vital research center. The library
holds, acquires, and provides access to both historic and current materials on
the subjects of pharmacy, botany, horticulture, herbal and alternative
medicine, pharmacognosy, and related topics. Although our collections have
a scientific focus, they also have relevance to humanities topics, such as
visual arts and foreign languages through resources that feature botanical and
natural history illustrations, original artworks, and travel literature,
thereby revealing the convergence of science and art. The Lloyd is open
to anyone with an interest in these topics. Free parking is available for
patrons and visitors behind the library building. For more information,
visit the Lloyd website at www.lloydlibrary.org.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
