1980–1981
The New-York Historical Society presented Small Folk: A Celebration of Childhood in America in New York in 1980–1981. Organized by the Museum of American Folk Art, the exhibition’s NGA loans were shown at the New-York Historical Society. Documented examples include J. Evans’s Family of Four (1832; pen and black ink and watercolor over graphite) and Robert Peckham’s The Hobby Horse (c. 1840; oil on canvas). The reconstructed checklist is partial, and exact opening and closing days remain unverified.
