Title A name given to the resource Alexander Hamilton Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource J. Lanelli after Giuseppe Ceracchi Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1804 (circa) - 1810 (circa) Description An account of the resource Alexander Hamilton (1757-1804) served as secretary and aide-de-camp to Washington during the American Revolution. After the war, he studied law and began a distinguished service in the new government. In 1789 he became the first United States Secretary of the Treasury and was instrumental in organizing the country's finances and in establishing a national bank. Hamilton died at the age of forty-seven from wounds suffered in a duel with his political opponent Aaron Burr. This plaster replica of Giuseppe Ceracchi's 1794 marble bust was made by Lanelli following Hamilton's tragic death. Ceracchi (b.1751), the renowned Roman sculptor, visited Philadelphia in 1791 and 1794. Here he modeled many of America's founding fathers, Washington, Jefferson, etc., in the guise of Roman emperors. The engraving of Hamilton on the US $10 bill is based upon the Ceracchi bust. Banished from Italy because of his liberal political views, Ceracchi was executed in Paris in 1801 after plotting to assassinate Napoleon. The bust was painted in 1955.

Title A name given to the resource Benjamin Franklin Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Jean Antoine Houdon, after an original from 1778 Description An account of the resource Plaster portrait bust of Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) by Jean Antoine Houdon, after an original from 1778. Benjamin Franklin, American Founding Father, writer, printer, postmaster, scientist, inventor, statesman, and diplomat, known for his wit and humor, is depicted here with shoulder-length hair and a plain suit coat, buttoned vest and simple cravat. French sculptor Jean Antoine Houdon was well known for portrait busts of public figures of the late 18th century. Houdon sculpted Benjamin Franklin’s likeness during Franklin’s tenure as American minister to France from 1776 to 1785. While only two marble versions of the bust are known to exist (one at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the other at the Metropolitan Museum of Art), Houdon also produced plaster versions such as this one in response to the public’s fascination with the popular American statesman.

Gruet Jeune Fondeur Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1868 (circa) - 1869 (circa) Description An account of the resource Cast bronze portrait bust of Charles Garnier (1825-1898). Sculptural details such as Garnier’s unkempt curly hair and his disheveled clothing are indicative of sculptor Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux’s skill at infusing his works with spontaneity and naturalism. Architect Charles Garnier won the Paris Opera commission in 1861 over a field of nearly 200 contestants. Garnier and Carpeaux were friends, and Carpeaux executed many sculptural works for Garnier's finest building, the Opera. A version of this portrait bust greets visitors as they climb the grand stair of the Opera, and there is a third casting at the Louvre in Paris. Carpeaux was the most successful French sculptor of the mid-19th Century; he was widely recognized as the official sculptor of the Second French Empire.

Title A name given to the resource Chasseur à Cheval Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Pierre Nicolas Tourgueneff Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1890 (circa) Description An account of the resource A bronze equestrian statuette representing a "chasseur à cheval," a French cavalry soldier of the Napoleonic era. Faces left. Soldier is depicted wearing a short fur hat with plume; a coat with fur collar, cuffs and braided front with four rows of buttons; and boots with spurs. Hanging from the belt around the soldier's waist is a sword and cartridge box with an eagle badge. The horse carries the soldier's blanket roll. 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. Tourgueneff's realistic modeling of this 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.

Title A name given to the resource Minerva Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource George M. Miller Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1814 (circa) Description An account of the resource Hollow plaster cast of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, trade, the arts, and strategic warfare. The Romans identified her with the Greek goddess Athena. Although Minerva is often portrayed wearing a helmet, in this sculpture she is seen without a helmet; instead, a narrow band encircles the front top of her head, and her wavy tresses are gathered in the back. The bust was deposited at the Athenaeum in November of 1814 with several other plaster castings by the sculptor. When moving out of the American Philosophical Society (where the Athenaeum had been renting rooms) and into their own new building in 1847, the Athenaeum for some reason left the bust of Minerva behind. It was finally returned to the Athenaeum in 1961. Extent The size or duration of the resource. 20.25" H Medium The material or physical carrier of the resource.

The theory was developed by German physician Franz Joseph Gallin in the 1790s, and further advanced by his assistant Johann Gaspar Spurzheim.

Title A name given to the resource Phrenology head Description An account of the resource Glazed ceramic phrenology head. Areas of the skull are delineated and labeled in black lettering, each area indicating a particular psychological trait. Front base reads: Fowler's IMPROVED PHRENOLOGICAL HEAD. Two base sides read: AFFECTIVE PROPENSITIES and INTELLECTUAL FACULTIES. Underside of base reads: ACME CEREBAL [illegible]. Phrenology is based on the belief that certain delineated areas of the brain are responsible for different functions, and that an individual’s personality and character can be ascertained by studying the corresponding bumps and indentations on the person’s skull. The theory was developed by German physician Franz Joseph Gallin in the 1790s, and further advanced by his assistant Johann Gaspar Spurzheim. Phrenology faced skepticism from the scientific community, but enjoyed immense popularity with the American public throughout the 19th century. Today, phrenology is regarded as a pseudoscience.
