This print showcases the cornerstone dedication of the Library Company of Philadelphia, taken in 1739. The image captures a significant moment in American history as it features the text composed by none other than Benjamin Franklin himself. As one of the founding fathers and an influential figure during colonial times, Franklin's inscription holds great importance. The photograph highlights the early days of this esteemed library, which played a crucial role in fostering knowledge and intellectual growth in Philadelphia. The typeface used for the inscription adds to its historical charm, transporting us back to a time when printing techniques were still evolving. In this image from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, we witness not only the physical representation of a cornerstone but also symbolically witness the foundation being laid for future generations' access to information and education. It serves as a reminder that libraries have long been pillars of society, providing resources for individuals seeking enlightenment.
