| Summary: |
Illustration of the Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, now Hamilton Hall a part of the University of the ARTS. Located on the Northwest corner Broad and Pine Streets. It was built from 1824-1825 from the designs of John Haviland [1792-1852]. This illustration was published in The Port Folio November, 1824. There is no evidence that the statues shown in the print were ever put in place. That on the left represents the Abbe De L'Eppe and that on the right Abbe Sicard, both instrumental in the development of sign-language. This illustration can be found on page 414 of John E. Hall's The Port Folio. Vol. XVIII. From July to December, 1824. |
