Many of the letters between the authors and publishers reflect the challenges faced by 19th century American authors without the protection of an American copyright law. They were plagued by the potential loss of desperately needed income and were often in danger of having their works stolen and published abroad without receiving any remuneration. This exhibition examines the various ways these challenges were met, and also represents the fruits borne from the resultant friendships that developed.
