The Jefferson R. Burdick Collection
In 1947, Syracuse electrician Jefferson R. Burdick (1900–1963) began to donate his collection of approximately 303,000 advertising inserts, postcards, baseball cards, and posters to The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Jefferson R. Burdick Collection constitutes a primary part of the Museum’s collection of ephemera, and helps tell the history of popular printmaking in the United States.
