Description
Advertisement for S.F. Jacoby & Co. containing a montage of three titled views showing the sites involved in its marble manufacturing operations. The scenes are separated and surrounded by an ornate border comprised of patriotic imagery on top, including an eagle clutching the American flag and shield near a bust of George Washington and the state seals of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts; filigree, foliage, and tassels decorate the central portion, where putti hold up a banner displaying the title of the central view; and a lion-mouth fountain adorns the bottom portion of the border. Upper view shows slabs of marble piled in railroad cars pulled by a locomotive at J.K. & M. Freedley's "Bay State Marble Works in West Stockbridge, Mass," and includes residences and cattle. The bustling central scene depicts slabs of marble being moved from the boats and piled onto the wharf at the "Marble Depot Chesnut [sic] St. Wharf Schuyl. Philadelphia," ready for finishing in nearby mills or to be sold by S.F. Jacoby & Co. Includes vessels on the Schuylkill River, a partial view of the Market Street Permanent Bridge (left), and adjacent manufacturing buildings and sites near the river. The bucolic bottom scene shows slabs of marble lined on the bank and hoisted by a crane onto canal boats to be transported to desinations across the country from the Key Stone Marble Works, Conshohocken, Pa."
