Hardcover. Condición: New. Blue cloth boards with silver lettering on spine, blue and white illustrated dust jacket, xi, 218 pp. 38 bw plates. When Charles Willson Peale, patriarch of a prominent artistic family in Philadelphia, redesigned his personal painting gallery in 1786 to include a "repository for Natural Curiosities," one of America's first museums of art and science was born. Tracing the development of Peale's Philadelphia Museum as an educational institution, as a business, and as a form of entertainment, David R. Brigham shows how this "world in miniature" helped define the terms of participation in early national cultural institutions. Brigham examines the museum's place in early American cultural life from the perspective of patrons and donors and by analyzing Peale's promotional efforts toward specific segments of the population. Aspiring to exhibit the full range of natural and artistic wonders from around the globe, Peale publicly proclaimed that his museum - in matching breadth of display with diversity of audience - also would fulfill a goal of the new American republic: the establishment of a universally educated public. Brigham reveals, however, that although Peale's objective was to make the museum democratically accessible, the composition of his audience was significantly limited, especially with respect to social rank, gender, and race. In promoting the museum to his potential audience, Peale defined it broadly as a public benefit, but he also targeted specific audiences by concentrating on the economic, social, scientific, moral, and religious implications of his exhibitions. In turn, members of Peale's audience used the museum to identify with particular social groups, to promote their intellectual accomplishments, to market their products, and to establish the boundaries of their community. Peale shaped exhibits to reinforce his notion of human order: that people should live in harmony but that hierarchical relationships among the sexes, social ranks, and races were natural. At Peale's Museum, visitors were encouraged to reflect on their own place in this world in miniature as well as in society at large.…

Home to the first two drafts of the U.S. Constitution, an original printer's proof of the Declaration of Independence, and the earliest surviving American photograph, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP) is one of the nation's largest libraries. Published in conjunction with the anniversary of the Society's founding in 1824, Two Hundred Years is the first book to survey the more than twenty-one million documents, newspapers, graphics, and rare books in its archive. The book presents one hundred essays highlighting carefully preserved artifacts, spanning the seventeenth to the late twentieth century. Drawing on everything from letters and maps, paintings and photographs, family Bibles and musical scores, Two Hundred Years reflects on the early days of the nation, the relationships colonists had with indigenous peoples, the rapid development of Philadelphia, and the evolution of banking, engineering, and medicine, among other industries and sectors. Through such collections as the Pennsylvania Abolition Society Papers and the archives of the Balch Institute for Ethnic Studies, HSP enables stories to come to light, including those of women, people of color, and immigrants, that would otherwise go untold. Creative artists and their audiences, technological innovators, and the people they impact, are all represented in this extraordinary book. Two Hundred Years is not only a beautifully illustrated tour of the HSP's vast holdings but also a comprehensive story of the origin and recent past of the United States told through the artifacts and documents carefully preserved, protected, and treasured by one of the nation's oldest historical institutions.
