Square format with scroll border enclosing "Friends Meeting House corner of Arch near 4th St. in 1824" above scene (after Benjamin West - 1820) commemorating William Penn's historic 1681 treaty with the Indians, printed in sepia on linen ground in a grain-painted frame.

Note:
This handkerchief was printed with a companion piece showing a portrait of General Lafayette and scenes of his arrival in Philadelphia and New York in 1824. Florence Montgomery comments in 'Printed Textiles, English and American Cottons and Linens 1700-1850' 1970, p.285, that "as a symbol of brotherly love, Benjamin West's painting of the treaty had lasting popularity, especially among Pennsylvania Friends."
