EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Philadelphia Library in 1875, as depicted by artist George Bacon Wood. Painted using oil on canvas, this artwork measures 56x41 cm and is currently housed in the Philadelphia History Museum at the Atwater Kent. The painting beautifully captures the essence of one of America's oldest subscription libraries. The image features an interior scene with a dog leisurely strolling through the library, adding a touch of charm to the setting. This lending institution was built between 1789-1790 and has been serving its community for generations. A librarian can be seen behind a desk, overseeing borrowers who are engrossed in their reading within the library company's reading room. Founded in 1731 by Lloyd P. Smith, this historic establishment has played a significant role in fostering knowledge and education throughout its existence. The painting highlights not only the architectural beauty of the building but also portrays patrons engaging with books while leaning on walking sticks or canes. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images offers us a glimpse into both history and literature, reminding us of how important libraries have been throughout time as sources of information and inspiration for countless individuals seeking knowledge.
