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.
Be still our hearts! We have fallen in love with this woodblock printed paper and scaleboard binding, which seems fitting as the text within features letters on courtship and marriage. #WoodcutWednesday
