The graphic collections of the Library Company are rich for the study of American popular culture. Much of this material is ephemeral and often survives in only one copy. Holdings include everything from song sheets recounting boxing matches to playbills advertising baby beauty contests, as well as social satires, sensational crime dramas, and playing cards illustrated with portraits of celebrities.
