Trumbull Drawings

The John Trumbull drawings, part of Fordham University Library's Charles Allen Munn Collection of Early Americana, are treasures that have only been exhibited at Fordham once, in 1943. This was the year they were acquired from Augusta Munn Tilney, the niece of Charles Allen Munn who was the founder of Scientific American Magazine and a collector of Americana. In addition to the 36 Trumbull drawings, the collection includes 58 letters diaries and other papers of Washington, Penn, Franklin, Revere, Lafayette, and others of the Revolutionary period. Some of the drawings were exhibited at The Free Library of Jersey City in 1956 and at Yale University in 1982. They have never been reproduced in one publication before now.
