Highlights from the University Libraries
Steelcase Library
GVSU’s Steelcase Library, located on the Pew Campus in downtown Grand Rapids, is equal parts traditional library and technologically-advanced learning environment.
Fore-Edge Painting Books
A fore-edge painting is a miniature watercolor painted on the fanned edge or edges of a book. When the book is closed the art disappears, hidden by the edge gilding. This genre of painting dates from the 1500s, flourished in the 1800s, and is still practiced today. Anonymous and undated paintings include landscapes, scenes and characters from literature, and portraits of authors.
