- The terrible conflagration at Ninth and Washington Streets, Philadelphia On the morning of Wednesday February 8th 1865
- Description
- Disaster print showing the scene at the "disastrous conflagration commenced in the storage yard [of Blackburn & Co.] at Ninth & Washington Street" in the early morning hours of February 8, 1865. In the foreground, displaced and panicked residents of all ages attired in their night clothes, many holding their few possessions, run down and gather on the snowy streets. Amongst the commotion, police officers assist residents with their possessions (trunks, bedding, and cookware) and direct firefighters toward the blaze and burnt ruins of and surrounding the coal yard. The firefighters transport a ladder, hoses, and hose carriage toward the burning buildings as other volunteers rush to smother a man on fire and comfort a fleeing girl. Others depicted at the scene include two men laying an unconscious man attired in a nightshirt on the ground; a man and woman clutching their children to their chests; and a woman falling and dropping her baby in her flight as a dog runs past them. In the background, a small number of survivors and firefighters carrying victims, run down the 1100 block of Ninth Street that is lined with burning and destroyed buildings. Across from the coal yard, presumably the proprietor, James McManus, holds a bundle, and prepares to exit the doorway of the "Lager Beer Saloon" on the northeast corner of Washington Avenue and Ninth Street. Furniture covers the sidewalk in front of his establishment, the upper floors visibly on fire., Also contains several lines of text explicating the economic and human cost of the fire, including "loss of property" at "$400, 000," the "property destroyed" at about "one hundred structures," and the "List of Dead and Missing - Mrs. Barbara Ware, aged 43 years. Miss Annie Ware, 23 years._Emma Ware, 20 year._Helen Ware, 13 years._Isabella Ware, 4 years._Rebecca Ware._Albert Ware, 17 years._Clayton Ware, 10 years._The Scott Family is missing._Samuel McMenamin Fleetwood". A barrel of coal oil ignited through arson stored at Blackburn & Co. started the blaze shortly after 2 A.M. The fire destroyed the coal yard, which then caused a stream of burning oil to flow down Washington Avenue and Ninth Street that spread the fire to neighboring blocks of Federal and Ellsworth streets., Philadelphia on Stone, POS 746, Wainwright retrospective conversion project, edited., Reaccessioned as P.2215., Historical Society of Pennsylvania:, Fire described in the Philadelphia Inquirer, February 9, 1865, p. 8.

- The dawn of liberty General Gage said "The very children here draw on a love of liberty with the air they breathe. You may go my brave boys, and be assured if my troops trouble you again they shall be punished."
- Description
- Historical print based on lore depicting a 1774 meeting in Boston between British Massachusetts Royal Governor General Thomas Gage and a "committee" of boys about British troops infringing their rights by destroying their snow hills and skating ice when unprovoked. Depicts the rotund Gage seated in a palatial drawing room decorated with an ornate rug; damask-style, blue wallpaper; red drapery; a large painted portrait of King George III; a book case; and a fireplace with a mantle adorned with a gold sculpture of the British lion. Gage, in uniform, sits in an arm chair near two of his officers, in uniform. One is seated at a table, covered in a cloth with an ornate design and the other stands next to him. A ledger and sheets of paper rest on the table. A delegation of boys, in long jackets, pantaloons, and tri-corn hats, enters the room through an open door. The lead boy extends his hand toward Gage as the others look at the room, each other, and the royal governor. An African American male servant, attired in a blue jacket and pantaloons and depicted with simian-like features, tends to a fire in the fireplace behind Gage. Written about in children's history texts beginning with Samuel Griswold Goodrich's in the 1830s, the episode is likely based on a 1775 incident involving a servant of General Frederick Haldiman, Haldiman, and a group of Boston boys about which Gage heard and then commented they had "caught the spirit of the times.", Artist's signature in lower right corner of stone., Date from copyright statement: Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1864, by Wm. Smith in the Clerk's Office in the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania., Purchased with funds for the Visual Culture Progam (Junto Funds 2015).
