EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Friends Old Meeting House, Wilmington, Delaware" takes us back to the year 1817 when this historic building stood tall before its eventual demolition. Created by P. S. Duval in 1845, this litho showcases the architectural beauty of the meeting house and offers a glimpse into the past. The image is accompanied by another fascinating depiction entitled "Willington, now Wilmington" which presents a detailed map of the town as it was laid out in 1736. This facsimile provides valuable insight into how the town evolved over time and highlights the number and locations of houses during that era. Both prints are part of the Jackson Collection of American Lithographs housed at the Free Library of Philadelphia's Print and Picture Collection. They offer a unique perspective on Quaker history in North America, particularly in Delaware. The Friends Old Meeting House holds great significance for Quakers and serves as a testament to their enduring legacy. The intricate engravings capture not only architectural details but also evoke a sense of nostalgia for an earlier time. As we admire these prints from Benjamin Ferris' work after Bridgeman Images has brought them to life once again through Fine Art Finder, we can appreciate their historical value and gain deeper insights into early American architecture and urban planning.
