Description   Two hundred years ago the Library Company acquired, at auction, much of the contents of the American Museum of Pierre Eugene Du Simitière (1737-1784), the Geneva-born artist, naturalist, and antiquary. It has long been held that this purchase was the most important in the history of the Library Company, but only in the course of mounting this exhibition have we come to appreciate fully how much our 104 pounds bought. ... This exhibition represents, then, only the parts of the American Museum that were on paper; still it should give the viewer some idea of the incredible historical riches passed on to us by this elusive, eccentric genius. (Philadelphia: The Library Company of Philadelphia, 1985.)
