Zouaves in camp. Watercolor by Carl Goebel c. 1865<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are over 15,000 individual prints, drawings, paintings, and watercolors in the Military Collection, mounted in acid-free mats and stored in print boxes or on shelves in the print room off the main gallery. Unlike the books and portfolios, each image has its own unique call number. The earliest pictures date from the 16th century and the most recent items include more than 1,600 paintings, drawings, and watercolors depicting World War II<\/a> by artists who served in the United States armed forces. The graphics are arranged by country and within each country are sections containing battle and campaign scenes, portraits, caricatures<\/a>, uniforms, naval subjects, and genre scenes. There are thousands of original pencil sketches and watercolors along with mezzotints, lithographs, aquatints, and other printed forms. Numerous artists<\/a> are represented in the graphic collection. Many of these images can now be viewed in the digital archive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
