EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early years of Philadelphia, around 1700. The image showcases a significant milestone in the city's history - the construction of its very first brick building. This remarkable structure was a gift from Mr. Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia, to his daughter. The wood engraving beautifully captures the essence of this historical moment, with intricate details that bring life to the scene. We can almost feel the excitement and anticipation surrounding this groundbreaking event as we gaze upon this artwork. Philadelphia, known for its rich colonial heritage, is depicted here as a budding settlement on the brink of growth and progress. The building stands tall amidst a landscape that hints at further development yet to come. As we admire this piece from The Granger Collection's archives, it serves as a reminder of how far our beloved city has come since those early days. It symbolizes resilience and determination - qualities that have shaped Philadelphia into what it is today. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply fascinated by history, this print offers a glimpse into an important chapter in American history. Let it transport you back in time and inspire your imagination with thoughts of how our great nation came to be.
