This was a fun acquisition and conservation project on behalf of a private client!
:
“Philadelphia Schützen-Verein. 1869.” is a rather scarce, large-format lithograph by PS Duval of a now defunct German-American shooting club in antebellum Philadelphia. It seems that the club had its roots in the 1840s at Lemon Hill before relocating to “Washington’s Retreat,” today knows as Mt. Pleasant, which is the mansion we see in the background of this image. Perhaps this was a farewell portrait as the members prepared to decamp to a new facility in East Falls. In 1892, the City condemned the Indian Queen Lane property to build the reservoir which continues there to this day. At that point the Club took the condemnation proceeds and removed to Tabor Station in North Philadelphia.

Bring the garden inside!
:
Prints from Les Liliacées. Paris, 1802-16. Very fine stipple engravings, printed in color and hand finished by Pierre Joseph Redouté (1759-l840), considered by many the most important of all botanical painters. The eight volumes of Les Liliacées were done at the height of Redouté’s career, when he was flourishing under the patronage of Josephine, first wife of Napoleon Bonaparte.

Absolute bucket list item for this map collector!

This is one of the most rare and desirable maps of Philadelphia, depicting an area ten miles around Centre Square, as the city developed in the years just following the American Revolution.
