Description: Founded in 1929 by George Macy of New York City, the Limited Editions Club was a premiere subscription-based book club for book enthusiasts.  The mission of the Limited Editions Club was to produce finely illustrated editions of classical literature to circulate to the membership. George Macy commissioned legendary artists, photographers, and illustrators to bring classic literature to life and published 548 titles between 1929-1985.  Although production continued to decline over the years, the Limited Editions Club still circulated titles into the early 2000s.  This exhibit  features some beautiful examples produced by the Limited Editions Club.
