The University of Richmond Museums presents the exhibition, "Of Human Bondage": Etchings by John Sloan Illustrating W. Somerset Maugham's Novel, on view from September 28 to December 8, 2007. The exhibition focuses on sixteen etchings Sloan made in 1937 for a deluxe edition of Of Human Bondage, issued in a two-volume set each containing eight original etchings by the artist. The exhibition also explores adaptations of the book, such as two movie versions, one from 1934 starring Bette Davis and Leslie Howard, and the other from 1964 with Kim Novak and Laurence Harvey.
