Preserve Ohio's Book Heritage
The Ohio Preservation Council produced a poster, “Preserve Ohio's Book Heritage”, in honor of the Ohio Bicentennial. The poster celebrates the aesthetic legacy of nineteenth-and early twentieth-century cloth bindings, as well as Ohio authors’ significant contribution to American literature. The volumes pictured have been preserved in their original bindings by OPC member libraries. Each book shown has an historic Ohio connection: it was either published in Ohio or written by an Ohio author.
