Nursery of Rebellion features works from Princeton University Library, drawn from the Early American, Graphic Arts, and Numismatics Collections, and the Scheide Library.

This exhibition also draws heavily from the Andre De Coppet ’15 Collection and the Sid Lapidus ’59 Collection. The commonplace book of Annis Boudinot Stockton is on deposit courtesy of the Stockton family.

The exhibition was supported by a Special Grant from the Humanities Council’s Ruth and Sid Lapidus ’59 Research Fellowships Fund.
