The work was awarded a first premium with the following comments, "The committee are highly gratified with the advance made
by the pupils of the School of Design, an institution yet in its infancy, and destined, we feel assured, to realize the fondest
wishes of its many friends. That the patronage so much needed will be given, the intelligence and liberality of this community
leave not room to doubt; many of the specimens are very beautiful, and of the highest order of merit. We award them most
justly A First Premium."

In 1850 Braidwood lived in the Northern Liberties ward and by 1860 in West Philadelphia. |
