EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Episcopal Hospital" takes us back to the year 1856 in Philadelphia. Created by P. S. Duval & Son and later reproduced by Francis Schell, this artwork measures 8.6x16.2 cm and is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Print and Picture Collection. The image showcases the grand exterior of Episcopal Hospital, situated near Front Street and Lehigh Avenue. It was built on land generously donated from the renowned Leamy Estate, adding a touch of historical significance to its architectural beauty. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported to a different era, where hospitals were not just places for healing but also symbols of community support. The meticulous engravings depict every intricate detail of the building's design with precision and elegance. The lithograph captures the essence of American craftsmanship during that time period while highlighting Kensington's rich history within North America. Its presence within the Jackson Collection of American Lithographs at the Free Library serves as a testament to its cultural importance. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and its historical context as an emblematic structure in Philadelphia's landscape. As we admire this work from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us reflect on how far healthcare has come since those early days while cherishing our shared heritage with reverence for those who came before us.
