Artifact Overview

In the late 1810s, German-born Philadelphia artist John Lewis Krimmel (1786-1821) depicted the people and events at a country tavern. Krimmel's richly detailed portrait holds many clues to the lives of Americans in the early republic. Printmakers created prints of this drawing years after Krimmel's death.
