| Description |
Advertisement containing an ornamental border, vignette examples of Kollner's work, and several lines of advertising text
for the collaboration between Camp and Kollner at the Phonenix Block circa 1849-1851. Vignettes, marked with variant Kollner
imprints, include General Washington, accompanied by two of his officers, and dismounted from a horse that is managed by a
black handler (Servant William Lee?); a line drawing of the Phoenix Block building; the back of an old man, possibly Franklin,
dressed in colonial attire, and seated at his secretary; and a view showing a grand building, probably a Capitol, along a
river on which vessels sail. Border also includes vignettes. Vignettes depict a military scene with an officer on horseback
accompanied by another soldier on the shore of an ocean on which a ship sails; and a trade scene between a gentleman and a
Native American reviewing a stack of goods of commerce at a pier. Advertisement also contains depictions of female allegorical
figures representing probably Spring and Fall flanking two ornamented poles entwined with banners. The banners are marked
with the subject matter and types of prints issued by the partners, including "Portraits, Landscapes, Animals, taken from
life. Vignettes from books, drafts, music titles etc." and "Showbills, labels, architectures, machine d. maps, plans, business
& visiting cards."
