Welcome to the Library Company of Philadelphia's Tumblr page! Founded by Ben Franklin in 1731, we are an independent research library specializing in American history and culture from the 17th through the 19th centuries. This page highlights materials from LCP's extensive collection of rare books, manuscripts, broadsides, ephemera, prints, photographs, and works of art.
We present A Concise History of the Holy Bible as our #TinyTuesday feature this week. This sweet little book was printed for Philadelphia bookseller H. Stead in 1787. #MustBePrettyConcise
