Assistant Curator Christina Michelon takes a close look at "Prize Piggies," an 1891 chromolithograph designed by Arlington-based artist Susanna Adams Winn and published by Louis Prang & Company.
Dr. Michelon will describe the printing process and provide insight into the popularity of the work. Then, as now, pictures of cute animals provided comfort and entertainment in a changing world.
