Loganian Library Minutes, vol. 1, p. 250, Feb. 6, 1845 acknowledges the receipt of the portrait. “A portrait (in oil by Lambdin)
of William Penn, framed, was presented by John J. Smith, Jr. for which the thanks of the Board were tendered to him.” A letter
inserted in the Library Company Directors' Minutes, vol. 9, p. 137, dated Nov. 16, 1888, from Lambdin to G. M. Abbot, reads:
The portrait of Wm. Penn at the Library was painted from a small stipple engraving said to have been made from a carved head
of Penn on the top of a cane, by one of his friends.
