Herline & Hensel, Philadelphia lithographers and partners Edward Herline (1825-1902) and Daniel Hensel (1830-1919), were practical
lithographers in all branches of the field. Established in 1857, the business operated from 630 Chestnut Street until ca.
1866 when the partnership was dissolved.

Known for their chromolithographs and bird's eye view prints, Herline & Hensel also produced advertisements, sheet music covers,
maps, portraiture, political cartoons, certificates, and illustrations, including all the plates for Abraham Ritter's "History
of the Moravian Church in Philadelphia" (1857) and Henry E. Colton's "Mountain Scenery: The Scenery of the Mountains of Western
North Carolina and Northwestern South Carolina" (1859), both published by the Philadelphia firm Hayes & Zell.

Herline & Hensel also issued lithographs for the German American community, and produced prints for government reports, including
near $100 worth of work for "Governor Stevens's" report in 1860. The firm may also have printed the maps for the Hexamer
& Locher series of ward atlases in the late 1850s and early 1860s.
