Rebecca designed print and exhibition graphics for the exhibition currently on view at the Lewis Walpole Library. The exhibition “In the Midst of the Jovial Crowd” focuses on eighteenth-century biographer James Boswell’s travels in London from 1762 to 1763. His exploration of the city’s lively culture is well-documented in his London Journal.

The show features prints by contemporaneous artists such as William Hogarth and Thomas Rowlandson as well as books and manuscripts that comprised the cultural millieu of Boswell’s beloved London.
In addition to designing a poster, item labels, and vinyl wall graphics for the show, Rebecca designed a 24-page booklet for the show. The GIF below shows a few spreads from it.
The show will be on view on Wednesdays from 2 to 4.30 pm and by appointment until early October 2013 at the Lewis Walpole Library in Farmington, Connecticut.
