| Description |
Dominique C. Fabronius, born in Belgium on January 28, 1828, worked as a lithographer in Philadelphia during the 1850s. According
to graphics scholar Frank Weitenkampf, Fabronius arrived in Philadelphia in 1855 and worked at the establishments of P. S.
Duval and L. N. Rosenthal producing portraiture. Fabronius also drew designs for political cartoons and genre scenes for Boston
and New York lithographers during the 1860s. From 1868 to 1870, he partnered in Fabronius, Gurney & Son, printers of chromolithographs.
In 1876, he again associated himself with the Philadelphia lithographic trade and designed "The Flag that has Waved One Hundred
Years" printed by E. P. & L. Restein and published by the National Chromo Co. in 1876.
