Jeremiah Cullen was a Philadelphia bookseller from 1877 until he died, sometime in the 1930s. He opened his own store, called Cullen's Bookstore, in 1906, and sold both rare and new books. It was located at 9th and Walnut. The collection includes advertisements and brochures for Cullen's Bookstore and other booksellers, poetry by Joseph Jackson, a small amount of correspondence, and business cards and other ephemera. Two of the letters are from Harry Houdini. There is also one volume of photographs, newspaper clippings, and advertisements, with captions written by Cullen, which chronicles his business and some of his customers. The volume used for the scrapbook is a history book. There are a few notes written by his son John. |
