Bookplate: Independence Hall is a 1907 by Horace T. Carpenter, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows Independence Hall in Philadelphia. The building stands tall with a tall steeple. Flags wave above its dome. A few people walk on the steps below. Carpenter made this as a bookplate, not a painting. That means it was meant for the inside cover of a book. People back then liked to personalize their books this way. It reminds me of Charles Willson Peale’s portraits of early America. Look up Charles Willson Peale next.
Horace T. Carpenter (1857–1947) was an American artist.
