John William Lieb (1860 - 1929): From Edison Pioneer to Leonardo da Vinci Scholar

This exhibit delves into more detail of the fascinating career of John William Lieb (Stevens Class of 1880). We researched his time with the Edison Company and his passionate pursuit to become a knowledgeable expert on Leonardo da Vinci, which culminated with the John W. Lieb Memorial Collection of Leonardo da Vinci at the Samuel C. Williams Library dedicated in 1932. Produced in fall 2019, this exhibit is physically located in the Samuel C. Williams Library (2nd floor), and features historic photographs, scrapbooks, university publications, facsimiles of rare books and other ephemera from the Archives & Special Collections department.
