| Description |
Peter Weiss, younger brother of Philadelphia map lithographer Jacob Weiss, born ca. 1845 in Germany, was active as a lithographer
and engraver in Philadelphia between 1863 and 1901. Weiss immigrated to Philadelphia in 1863 and probably worked at his brother's
establishments at 600 Chestnut Street and 320 Walnut Street before Jacob's death in 1866. By 1867, he resided at 430 Appletree
Alley, the former residence of lithographer George Eimerman (1865-1866) and his brother Jacob (1865-1866). From the mid to
late 1870s, Weiss continued in the trade and resided with his widowed sister-in-law Henrietta at 511 Wood Street. By the 1880
census, Weiss identified himself as a widower and boarded with the Glissmer family at 1108 Callowhill Street (Ward 10). By
the time of his death on April 21, 1901, Weiss lived with his older brother George W. at 1011 Tioga Street (Ward 33).
