Jeff Hunter and Janet Griffin have made the generous gift of more than five dozen historic prints to the Art Cneter. Most of these prints are several centuries old and include luminary artists such as Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Albrecht Durer, and William Hogarth. Many of the works were once employed as illustrations in historic encyclopedias and survey texts, including five pages of the Nuremberg Chronicle, first published in 1493, and several images of 18th-century being processes.
