1827 Banking Column Corinthian Etching Girard Philadelphia Stephen
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Philadelphia in 1827. Standing tall and proud is Girards Bank, formerly known as the First Bank of the United States. The architectural beauty of this building is truly remarkable, showcasing intricate Corinthian columns that exude elegance and grandeur. The etching, created by a German artist in the same year, perfectly captures the early charm of this historic landmark. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear the sounds of horse-drawn carriages passing by and feel the energy emanating from the people walking along North Street. It's fascinating to think about how Stephen Girard acquired this iconic bank in 1811. This acquisition marked an important chapter in Philadelphia's banking history. The significance of Girards Bank cannot be understated; it played a crucial role in shaping America's financial landscape during its early years. As we admire this print, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical importance. It serves as a reminder of our nation's rich heritage and reminds us to cherish these architectural gems that have withstood the test of time.
