| Description |
Charles Gramer, born ca. 1830 in Germany, worked in several different locations as a lithographer and map colorist in Philadelphia
1860-ca. 1875. From 1864 to 1866 he was employed at 531 Commerce Street, the same address as photographers Edward and William
Rehn and the paper warehouse of Martin Nixon. Between 1866 and 1867, he worked from 1 Forrest Place, Harmony Court, and Hudson's
Alley. In 1869, he was located at North Twelfth and Market Streets. After remaining unlisted in the early 1870s, from 1877
to 1878, Philadelphia city directories list Gramer as a canvasser, and by the 1880s, a weaver. Gramer was married to Josephine
A. (b. ca. 1841) with whom he had five children, and resided at 929 North Sixth Street while working as a map colorer.
