PHILADELPHIA VIEW, c1767 - A Glimpse into the Historic Cityscape
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to 18th-century Philadelphia, offering a fascinating glimpse into the city's rich history. The line engraving, created around 1767 by I. Hulett after Nic. Garrison, showcases an array of iconic landmarks and scenes that defined colonial Philadelphia. At the forefront of this panoramic view stands the House of Employment, a testament to the city's commitment to providing for its less fortunate citizens. Adjacent to it is the Almshouse, another institution dedicated to caring for those in need. These buildings serve as reminders of Philadelphia's early efforts towards social welfare. Dominating the skyline is Pennsylvania Hospital, an architectural gem that still stands today as one of America's oldest hospitals. Its grandeur and significance are beautifully captured in this engraving. As we explore further into this bustling cityscape, we encounter equestrians gracefully riding along tree-lined roads while pedestrians stroll beneath parasols on their way through town. The presence of horses grazing peacefully in pastures adds a touch of tranquility amidst urban life. This image not only showcases Philadelphia's architectural beauty but also provides insight into daily life during colonial times – from colonists going about their business to cows roaming freely near residential areas. With its intricate details and historical significance, this print transports us back centuries ago when Philadelphia was still emerging as a vibrant North American colony. It
