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’re joining @pemlibrary and @um_spec_coll for this month’s #SpineTingling challenge! First up is the gold-blocked spine title on our copy of Phantom Flowers: A Treatise on the Art of Producing Skeleton Leaves (Boston, 1864).
