FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LLOYD LIBRARY AND MUSEUM ANNOUNCES ALL NEW EXHIBITION

The North American Experience: Early America Illustrated

with

"Forms of Life" Art Exhibition by the 5300 Group

Opens to the public March 25, 2013 - Runs through June 21, 2013

 

What was North America like nearly 300 years ago?

How do we know?

 

Cincinnati, OH - March 1, 2013: The first Natural History of North
America was published in 1731 by an Englishman, Mark Catesby (white
heron by Catesby at left).  Since that time, there has been a steady
stream of works on that subject, an attempt to identify what new and
amazing life was here.  These early naturalist explorers used words and
images to describe an as yet little known continent and its natural
inhabitants.

 

Come to the Lloyd Library and Museum to see these early works and find
out what the Ohio Valley and other parts of North America were really
like in the days before it was settled by European immigrants.  Rare and
fascinating books from the 18th and 19th centuries in black and white
and full color will be on display for your viewing pleasure.

 

 

The 5300 Group is a collection of local artists and kindred spirits who
have been together since 2008, working in a variety of media and
exploring a wide assortment of subjects. Individual members have shown
their work locally, regionally, and nationally in juried exhibitions. As
a group they have held shows at the Clifton Cultural Arts Center, The
Barn in Mariemont, and Betts House. This is their first appearance at
the Lloyd Library.

 

 Exhibition Opening:  March 23, 4-7 p.m., with brief lecture at 4:30 by
Devere Burt (formerly of the Cincinnati Natural History Museum) on the
early Ohio Valley and John James Audubon.  Reception follows.

 

About the Lloyd: The Lloyd Library and Museum, a 501 (c)3 not-for-profit
organization, is a local and regional cultural treasure, which began in
the 19th century as a research library for Lloyd Brothers Pharmacists,
Inc., one of the leading pharmaceutical companies of the period.  Our
mission is to collect and maintain a library of botanical, medical,
pharmaceutical, and scientific books and periodicals, and works of
allied sciences that serve the scientific research community, as well as
constituents of the general public, through library services and
programming that bring science, art, and history to life.  For more
