Soft, chalky pastel gives this view of the Oberlin Art Gallery a warmth that pen or photograph often lacks. The building stands in Oberlin, Ohio, a college town known for founding one of the first coeducational colleges in the country in 1833. The college's art collection grew steadily over the following decades, and the Allen Memorial Art Museum, which opened on campus in 1917, became its best-known home. Sketches like this one recorded the campus buildings that shaped the town's cultural life.
