Title: Poleni, Theodore
Description: Theodore Poleni, a European-trained lithographer born in 1834 in Breslau, Germany, worked in the trade in Philadelphia ca. 1869-ca. 1880. Poleni (listed as a lithographer) traveled to the United States in October 1857 on board the ship "Luna" from Bremen to Baltimore and again (listed as a printer) in October 1863 on board the ship "Washington" from Bremen to New York. By 1868 he resided in Philadelphia and worked as an engraver with a residence north of Center City at 1204 Wood Street. In 1869 he relocated to 112 Cottage Street in South Philadelphia and began to be listed in city directories as a lithographer., During the 1870s, Poleni remained in South Philadelphia and delineated views commemorating the Centennial Exhibition of 1876 printed and copyrighted by Thomas Hunter in 1875 and 1876. He remained in the local trade and South Philadelphia until at least 1880 when he was listed in the census as a chromo artist with an address at 1805 South Sixth Street. He resided as a widower with his sister Ottilie (b. ca. 1848) and three children between thirteen and seven years of age. Poleni remained in Philadelphia until about 1883 when listed as an artist with a residence at 1616 South Seventh Street in the city directory. By 1888, he is listed in Rochester, N.Y. city directories as a lithographer. In the 1890 edition Poleni is noted as deceased., Poleni is possibly the brother of New York lithographer Oscar Poleni (b. ca. 1845) who resided in Buffalo, N.Y. at the time of the 1880 census.

Title: John Krider's Gun Store
Description: Depicts a shop on the corner of Second and Walnut Streets. Signs hanging on the building read, "John Krider: Gun Manufacturer.", For the period of a long generation when the sportsmen of America thought of Philadelphia they thought, also, of John Krider, master workman of dependable guns and fishing rods. John Krider is gone, but the sturdy old colonial building at the northeast corner of Second and Walnut Streets still houses his shop and store, now conducted, in 1918, by L.C. Siner & Co. The upper floors present the appearance of a veritable "old curiosity shop" of sporting materials. The building occupies the site of the Drinker residence, built in the days of William Penn, wherein, according to tradition, the first white child of Philadelphia nativity was born., Taylor Catalog Number: 142

Title: Pilliner, Frederick J.
Description: Frederick J. Pilliner, born ca. 1827 in Cuba, was an engraver and lithographer active in Philadelphia ca. 1850-1861. First listed as a resident of Philadelphia at 38 Walnut Street (Lower Delaware Ward) in the 1850 census, Pilliner advertised his "Designing and Engraving on Wood" business the same year at 46 1/2 Walnut Street. As a wood engraver, he promoted his skills in the design of newspaper heads, views, and labels. In 1852 he exhibited his wood engravings at the Exhibition of American Manufacturers at the Franklin Institute. Thereafter, he relocated to Boston where he entered into the short-lived partnership Schenck & Pilliner with engraver John Schenck from 1853 to 1854., By 1855, Pilliner returned to Philadelphia and entered the lithographic trade with partner John Kusterer at his former Walnut Street address. The partnership was again short-lived, and by January 1856, Pilliner & Kusterer had been dissolved with each lithographer advertising not to to trust the other on their account. Pilliner continued in the printing trade following the split and from 1858 to 1861, he relocated his establishment every year between 37 1/2 South Third Street (1858); N.E. Seventh and Chestnut streets (1859); and 147 South Fourth Street (1860-1) producing advertisements, vignette illustrations, and frontispieces for 1859-1860 editions of "Godey's Lady's Book." Shortly before his death on August 8, 1861, Pilliner also designed plates for "Sloans Homestead Architecture" (1861)., Pilliner died "after a short illness" with his residence at 209 South Sixth Street and his engraving and lithographic establishment still at Fourth Street. A member of the Lafayette Lodge, Ancient York Masons, Pilliner was buried at Monument Cemetery. Within a few weeks on August 21, 1861, possibly his father, and lithographer George Pilliner (b. ca. 1793), the administrator of his estate auctioned all of his stock and fixtures through the auction house of James A. Freeman.
