Sarah Briggs Latimore’s comprehensive collection of books and drawings was acquired by Mr and Mrs Alfred C. Berol for presentation to Columbia University, and a selection was exhibited there, December 1956–March 1957. The drawings, about sixty in number, in pencil, pen-and-ink, water-colour, etc., include examples of illustrations for Gulliver’s Travels, Rip Van Winkle, Mother Goose, Aesop’s Fables, Comus, Undine, and A Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and a series for The Lonesomest Doll. This was followed by an even more important addition in 1958 of some three hundred original drawings and sketches, together with about thirty volumes of the artist’s sketchbooks in which his major illustrated books were planned. Another Rackham Collection, brought together by Grace Clark Haskell, is in the Free Library of Philadelphia.
