I am interested to know if a print I own could be one of Darby’s. I would like to see his other drawings. Where could I find them to view? The print I have. oddly has a .75 on it and it appears that that the 4 pieces here also have a .75 on them. I am wondering what it means. Is Darby still around? Thanks.

The Library of Virginia is fortunate to have this lovely collection of drawings from the WPA project. As over- development has threatened so many historical sites, these images are more important than ever, and this well-written article has convinced me to visit the Library of Virginia to have a look at them.
