Old Philadelphian Prints

Today, I discovered the website of the The Philadelphia Print Shop, located in the Chestnut Hill section of the city.  I was charmed by their offerings of antique Philadelphian prints, paintings and advertisements.  Here are a couple pictures of the Manayunk from the earlier part of the century (click each picture for the full size image).


Lithograph circa 1840.


The Manayunk hillside, circa 1945.



The Laurel Hill Cemetery - year 1848.


 This above lithograph is the view looking east across Delaware River to Camden, circa 1838.


The Water Works in 1843.
