June 29, 2001 CAPITAL GAINS: ECONOMICS CLASSICS EXHIBIT OPENS What do a sixteenth-century hand-colored broadside depicting counterfeit coins in Germany and the published version of John Stuart Mill's 1867 speech to the House of Commons, "On the Admission of Women to the Electoral Franchise", have in common? Both are fascinating examples of the breadth of the Hutzler Collection of Economics Classics, and are featured in the "Capital Gains" exhibit now on display in the Eisenhower Library through September. Selections in the exhibit highlight the variety in the collection and attest to the recent expansion in its scope. Coltivazione E Governo Del Lino Marzuolo of 1792, with beautifully illustrated plates depicting the various steps in the preparation of linen is a notable departure from the well-represented British titles in the collection. The Hutzler Collection was established by brothers Abram G. and David Hutzler in 1903. Over 5,000 printed titles and 1000 manuscripts cover the topics of agriculture, currency and finances, labor, manufacturing and industry, commerce, trade laws, and political and social concerns. Titles range in date from the 16th to the late 19th centuries, and reflect a variety of formats including books, pamphlets, manuscripts, broadsides, and printed currency. New materials are added to the collection annually, and recent purchases of Continental, and particularly French works now augment the strong British holdings. Other new areas of expansion include socio-ecomonic history, featuring works relating to or written by women. The exhibit is located in the Special Collections Department on A-Level in the Eisenhower Library and may be viewed Monday - Friday from 8:30 am - 5 pm. The Sheridan Libraries encompass the Milton S. Eisenhower Library and its collections at the Hutzler Reading Room, Garrett Library and the George Peabody Library. ### Johns Hopkins University news releases can be found on the World Wide Web at: Headlines@Hopkins | |||||||||||||
