19th-century American prints at the DAC include works produced as fine art by such printmakers as Whistler, as well as objects originally made and disseminated as popular commodities. Many DAC acquisitions in the later 1990s focused on building up the museum's collection of 19th-century U.S. prints for use in American Studies courses.
Holdings of the latter sort include prints by Currier & Ives (4); Doolittle (1); Fabronius (1); Hollyer and Rogers; Homer (after, 87); the Moran family (12); Lewis Prang & Co.
