EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving showcases the majestic Philadelphia City Hall building as it stood in the mid-19th century. The intricately detailed print, created by the skilled hand of Traversier, is an exquisite example of the art of engraving during this era. The panoramic view, titled "Philadelphia. City Hall building. Engraving by Traversier," is part of the "History of the United States of America" series from the first edition of Jean B.G. Roux de Rochelle's "Etats-Unis d'Amerique," published in Barcelona in 1850. The City Hall, located in the heart of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was the seat of government for the municipality and a symbol of civic pride. The building's impressive facade, adorned with intricate architectural details and a grand clock tower, dominates the urban landscape. The horseman on horseback in the foreground adds a sense of daily life and activity to the scene. The engraving has been later colorated, adding vibrancy and depth to the image. The pavement and sidewalks are filled with people going about their business, while the horse-drawn carriages and horseman on horseback add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the bustling town. The weather appears to be clear and sunny, adding to the overall sense of vitality and energy. This engraving offers a glimpse into the history and daily life of Philadelphia and the United States during the 19th century. It is a testament to the beauty and artistry of the past and a reminder of the rich history that continues to shape our world today.
