Overview and metadata sections
Winslow Homer (1836-1910) was an American artist. Although he is best known today for his landscape and seascape paintings, Homer began his career as a commercial illustrator. He worked extensively for Harper's Weekly and Ballou's Pictorial among other periodicals. In the 1860s, Homer moved away from illustration as his painting career took off.
The collection consists of illustrations by Winslow Homer for Harper's Weekly (1873-1874), Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner (1865), and sheet music. Titles of sheet music include "National Songs of America," "Annie Lawrie," "Katy Darling," "The Wheelbarrow Polka," and The Ratcatcher's Daughter."
Materials are arranged in folders by publication and type of material.
