EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 19th century, showcasing the historic Philadelphia Mint. Known as Ye Olde Mint, this iconic building on Seventh Street was the very first home of the United States Mint in Philadelphia around 1820. The skilled artist Edwin Lamasure beautifully captured its grandeur in this painting. Intriguingly, situated behind the mint are two significant structures - the smelt house and mill house. These buildings played a crucial role in refining precious metals for coin production during that time. The image portrays a bustling street scene with three men and women strolling along, accompanied by an adorable dog. As they walk beneath a towering tree, their presence adds life to this snapshot of history. Notably displayed above them is the Stars and Stripes flag proudly waving against a clear day sky - symbolizing patriotism and unity. This archival photograph showcases not only architectural brilliance but also offers glimpses into daily life during that era. It serves as a reminder of America's rich heritage in finance and currency production. As we admire this stunning piece from Fine Art Storehouse's collection, it transports us back to an important chapter in American history when coins were minted within these hallowed walls.
