Label TextIn the second half of the 1890s, current and recent students from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts staged caricature exhibitions. The students produced spoofs of works in the Academy's official annual exhibitions, and hosted an exhibition and auction of these comic works to raise funds for scholarships.
