Description
Book illustration showing the landing of William Penn at Philadelphia in 1682. Depicts a crowd of several people, including early Pennsylvania colonists, waiting on the banks of the river as Penn and his entourage prepare to disembark from a small boat. Also shows the a tavern and the Delaware River in the background. Penn arrived in Philadelphia at a basin off of Dock Creek via a barge upriver from Chester, Pa. where he had moored his ship "Welcome."
Notes
Plate opposite page 69 in John F. Watson's Historic tales of olden time : concerning the early settlement and progress of Philadelphia and Pennsylvania ; for the use of families and schools ; illustrated with plates (Philadelphia : E. Littell : Thomas Holden, 1833).
William L. Breton and Kennedy & Lucas created many of the lithographic plates for Watson's Annals of Philadelphia, so it is probable that they also created the plates in Historic tales of olden time.
Not in Wainwright.
