Hopkinson Description An account of the resource Pair of mahogany Grecian side chairs, scroll back, saber legs, and Boulle inlay in cresting rail. These chairs are believed to have been made for Joseph Bonaparte's first home at Point Breeze near Bordentown, New Jersey, c. 1815. When the first Point Breeze burned in 1820, some of the furniture from the home was saved. It is believed that these two chairs were retrieved from the fire, as the forelegs on both chairs are charred on their back edges. The chairs were supposedly presented to Judge Hopkinson by Joseph Bonaparte, and they were presented to the Athenaeum by Miss Emily G. Hopkinson, who was one of Hopkinson's descendants.

Description An account of the resource Joseph Biays Ord (1805-1865), son of the noted Philadelphia ornithologist and Athenaeum founder George Ord, was a portrait, still life and religious painter, as well as a picture restorer. Specializing in still life painting from 1838 to 1862, Ord became known for his fruit pictures. In these dynamic compositions he uses a variety of sizes, colors and textures to express the passage of time. In this example, age spots appear on the apples, a partly peeled orange waits to be eaten, an empty almond shell lies on the table. The dishes which hold the fruit are typical examples of the fine ceramics which Ord uses in his pictures.

Gift of Frances Sabina Fernley and Mary Elizabeth Fernley Description An account of the resource This late 19th-century bronze statuette represents a fusilier in Napoleon's army. Armed with musket and bayonet, the well-equipped soldier wears a tall bearskin hat which is fitted at the front with an eagle badge, and decorated with plume, pom poms, and braided cord. The belt which crosses over the subject's shoulders holds his sword and a cartridge box, which also bears a Napoleonic eagle. Buttoned gaiters, worn to protect the soldier on the march, cover the fusilier's shoes and reach mid thigh. The long skirt of the subject's coat is folded back and hooked up to allow better mobility. Born in Tricesimo, Italy, Luca Madrassi (fl. 1869-1914) studied at "L'Ecole des Beaux-Arts" in Paris. In addition to his realistic military sculpture, Madrassi was a master of the fantastic, modeling such allegorical subjects as fairies, cupids, satyrs and genies. Madrassi exhibited at the Paris Salon and was a member of the "Artistes Francais." Statuette has serpentine-shaped green and white marble base. http://omeka.philaathenaeum.org/collections/files/original/611859dc1cd4cfac5e5a9e306754b112.JPG 8ff521ed0007db5590a92a3cb96bdf46 http://omeka.philaathenaeum.org/collections/files/original/696ceeab5b83155597d844ec77c83b97.JPG e0b5dd9c1f61d67178fecae21866cdd0 http://omeka.philaathenaeum.org/collections/files/original/453b94d4030f010272b477055dc9e75c.JPG 64a3863bcdfe4e9206971245c523b34a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Pease Description An account of the resource These elegant fruit baskets are examples of French porcelain imported into the United States in the first half of the nineteenth century. The baskets, decorated with bands of green glaze and gilt, have caryatid supports of bisque porcelain. These kneeling winged winged figures are attached to the base and baskets by bolts inserted through a hole in the body of the piece and secured with screws. This technological innovation in ceramics manufacture, based on the technique used by French silversmith Jean-Baptiste-Claude Odiot (1763-1850), permitted more efficient assembly and greater flexibility of design. http://omeka.philaathenaeum.org/collections/files/original/bc79abb98bc0fe80bc15429ce698b904.JPG 57f590e450d524e759dd312359729bff http://omeka.philaathenaeum.org/collections/files/original/83843c79594e9b56309631df65b8b35f.JPG ae13d4e3e60f39d91e1316e0dd9020dd http://omeka.philaathenaeum.org/collections/files/original/14e69d152359ec2b02c9f969444f987d.JPG 893a3f800c53b4c360f7069606f3309e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The statuette rests on an oval wooden base, which is painted black. Born in Paris of Russian parents, Pierre Nicolas Tourgueneff (1854-1912) specialized in portrait and equestrian sculpture. He exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1880 to 1911, four times receiving honorable mentions and the Grand Prize at the Universal Exposition of 1889. This cast bronze statue portrays a "chasseur a cheval," a French cavalry soldier of the Napoleonic era. Tourgueneff's realistic modeling of the uniformed soldier and horse reflects more than an artistic interest in his subject. He was a member of the Legion of Honor, achieving the rank of "Chevalier" in 1903, after twenty years of active service. The Legion of Honor, instituted by Napoleon in 1802, is France's highest honor for citizens of military or civil distinction. http://omeka.philaathenaeum.org/collections/files/original/f1a0ef9ef0172382fca5286087898e85.JPG 6a1171c56897ac33bef4ab0c83e22f17 http://omeka.philaathenaeum.org/collections/files/original/a4f671a4bf4218fb3bb78e4f6c1b78bb.JPG 0f9fa9d7f8f94b18a89cdeb122f61d7e http://omeka.philaathenaeum.org/collections/files/original/9269bcb6b26ae5d7d6600f36a8338528.JPG 70e73e1be736eb96d4f675486922f4ae Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Jones Description An account of the resource Round portrait panel painting of St. Catherine of Alexandria. Her right hand rests on a wheel, referring to her death. She holds the palm of martyrdom in her left hand. According to Hopkinson family tradition, this unsigned, late Renaissance painting of St. Catherine of Alexandria was given to Mrs. Joseph Hopkinson by Joseph Bonaparte prior to his departure from "Point Breeze." It descended to Miss Emily G. Hopkinson from whom the donor acquired it for presentation to the Athenæum. During the early 19th century such "primitive" works were popular with collectors such as Joseph Bonaparte's uncle, Cardinal Fesch, from whom Joseph acquired several of his paintings.

Patterson Description An account of the resource This handsome chair descended through the family of its maker, French émigré cabinetmaker Michel Bouvier (1792-1874). The chair is unusual for its slip-in upholstered scrolled back and scrolled arms which terminate in carved eagle heads. The arms have the horizontal forward thrust of earlier French models and show the slight curve which was then coming into vogue. The legs mark the reintroduction of the cabriole form. The chair was restored and reupholstered in black horsehair--a popular upholstery material in the nineteenth century--as suggested by surviving fragments discovered under later upholstery.

Description An account of the resource Thomas Ustick Walter is widely recognized as the leading American architect of the mid-nineteenth century. Born in Philadelphia, Walter's many buildings here include Moyamensing Prison, Girard College, Andalusia and Portico Row. He is best remembered as the architect of the dome and wings of the United States Capitol-the most symbolically important and controversial building in the United States. Late in life he made major contributions to the design and decoration of the Philadelphia City Hall. This portrait of the architect shows him at the start of his prolific career. Behind him are visible a fluted column at Girard College and a distant view of the Philadelphia County Prison at Moyamensing. Both were under construction when the portrait was completed. A receipt in the amount of $180 for painting “Portraits of wife & self” survives in the Architect’s papers at the Athenæum.

Chandler Jr. Collection, The Athenaeum of Philadelphia Provenance A statement of any changes in ownership and custody of the resource since its creation that are significant for its authenticity, integrity, and interpretation. The statement may include a description of any changes successive custodians made to the resource. Gift of the Chandler Family. Description An account of the resource The importance of T.P. Chandler to the architectural profession in late nineteenth-century Philadelphia cannot be overestimated. Not only as a conveyor of high-style design, often based on European models, but also as the founder of the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Architecture, Chandler substantially affected the architectural climate in Philadelphia and raised the role of architect to new heights of professionalism. Born in Boston, MA, and educated first in the Brookline schools, Chandler spent his freshman year at Harvard University and later studied at the Atelier Vaudremer in Paris. After returning to the United States, Chandler worked in several Boston offices. In 1872, with the persuasion of landscape architect Robert Copeland, then involved in the development of Ridley Park, Chandler came to Philadelphia and opened an office at 705 Sansom Street. While moving to Philadelphia enabled Chandler to capitalize on Copeland's activities in Ridley Park, it also reinforced Chandler's ties to his mother's family, the Schlatters, with grandfather William Schlatter, one of the founders of the Church of the New Jerusalem in Philadelphia, and to the DuPont family in Wilmington, DE, with whom the Schlatters had strong financial ties. Thus, with the Chandlers of New England behind him, and strong professional and familial ties in the Philadelphia and Delaware region, Chandler was successfully launched on an active architectural career. His first commissions reflect his ties to the development of Ridley Park (the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore Railroad Station on Sellers Ave., the William Smythe residence, and the Ridley Park store on Hinckley Ave.), but by 1874 he was already engaged on commissions for the DuPont family in Delaware. In addition, by 1878, Chandler had been installed as Godey's in house architect and was publishing cottage designs in Godey's Lady's Book. Throughout his career Chandler designed a number of residences, but he became chiefly known as an ecclesiastical architect, with such major churches as the Church of the New Jerusalem at 22nd & Chestnut streets in Philadelphia, Calvary Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C., and the First Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh, PA, to his credit. Chandler served as president of the Philadelphia Chapter of the AlA; he was also an early member of the national organization and received fellowship status in 1886. During the 1880s Chandler served on the Board of Trustees of the Spring Garden Institute, and, along with John Deery, judged their student exhibits of architectural drawings. His commitment to architectural education was to have even greater impact on Philadelphia's professional community in the 1890s, however, since during this time he successfully worked for the organization of the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Architecture, then part of the Towne Scientific School. He served as the Department's executive head for the school year 1890/91, but then he persuaded Warren P. Laird to move to Philadelphia in order to assume the headship. Chandler was extremely active in the general Philadelphia community as well, holding memberships in the Union League, the Philadelphia Club, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the Radnor Hunt Club. In addition he was a member of the Society of Mayflower Descendants and the Sons of the Revolution.

Description An account of the resource Isaiah Lukens (1779-1846) was best known in his own day as a maker of town clocks, but his mechanical genius led him also into the manufacture of machine tools, mathematical and surgical instruments. His father made clocks (see example on first floor) and the son made the towering clock at the Athenaeum (Busch Reading Room). This portrait descended in the family of Franklin Williams along with a number of other Lukens items later donated by his widow in his memory. Charles Willson Peale is known to have painted Lukens (1816; Franklin Institute), but the Peale experts are not in agreement about which Peale did this painting; all agree it is a member of the family.

Athenaeum Purchase Description An account of the resource Philadelphia-born church architect Charles M. Burns was the son of Charles M. and Eliza Van Dyke (Rousseau) Burns. Although he entered the University of Pennsylvania in the Class of 1859 as a second-semester freshman, his academic career was finished by the end of his junior year when he volunteered for Civil War action. By 1862 Burns was in battle at Mobile, AL with Admiral Farragut; he would return with Farragut to New Orleans in 1864. Therefore, although city directory listings for Burns commence in 1863, it is doubtful that Burns would have returned to Philadelphia before 1865. Once he did return to Philadelphia, he launched a distinguished architectural career, with a specialty in ecclesiastic buildings, especially Protestant Episcopal churches. While managing a steadily growing practice, Burns still attempted to further his own education by enrolling at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1876. His own talents were soon recognized, however; and by 1879 he had left off his own student activities in order to become a member of the faculty of the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art, with responsibility for "Theory and Practice of Freehand Drawing and Design." According to artist Joseph Pennell, who attended Burns's class and wrote a memorial article (really more a diatribe against Philadelphia) after Burns's death, "If he found that you could accept [his criticism], his interest in you was endless and tireless. But if you did not, the heavy black eyebrows and bristling black mustache, with the flaming red necktie underneath, passed you by -- and that was worse than anything." After this stint at the PMSI, Burns would continue as instructor of drawing at Haverford College through 1885. Burns was among the first group of architects proposed for membership in the Philadelphia Chapter of the AIA in 1870 and later served as treasurer for the group. Widely known as a portrait painter of some distinction and as a watercolorist, he exhibited at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876; and his architectural drawings appeared in exhibitions at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1887, 1888, 1890, 1892 and 1894. After his retirement to Camden, NJ, Burns passed some of his ecclesiastical work along to Henry Macomb. On 21 April 1870 Burns was elected an associate member of the AIA, but his membership "lapsed" in October 1875, according to the bulletin published for the 17th Annual Convention of the AIA (1883).

Day, Charles A. Day graduated from Germantown Academy before entering the University of Pennsylvania's program in Engineering. In 1899 he obtained a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, followed by the M.S. in 1903. Even before graduation he was employed at the Link-Belt Engineering Co. in Nicetown, an operation headed by John Mapes Dodge, father of his friend from Germantown Academy days Kern Dodge. After Kern Dodge graduated from Drexel Institute in 1901, the two established Dodge & Day, engineers; but after a transition with Dodge, Day & Zimmermann, Kern Dodge withdrew from this enterprise in 1912, and Charles Day continued with the succeeding firm of Day & Zimmermann. Charles Day both wrote and lectured on engineering practice. His book Industrial Plants: Their Arrangement and Construction, published by Engineering Magazine as a monograph in 1911, actually grew out of a series of lectures for Harvard University's Graduate School of Business Administration. During World War I Day also served on the U. S. Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation and became a member of the Army War Council.
