Notes:

Item 1, top left:  Image showing the exterior of Hahnemann Medical College, founded in 1867, located at 1105 Filbert Street.  This building was originally the Homeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania, founded in 1848.  In 1867, the faculty split over medical treatment differences, forming a separate Hahnemann Medical College.  Then in 1869, the two disciplines merged formally, becoming Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia in 1869.  Engraving for an unidentified publication, 7.25 x 11cm, undated (but sometime between 1869 and 1890).

Item 2, top right: Image showing another view of the Homeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania, at 1105 Filbert Street.  Engraving for an unidentified publication, 8 x 6.5 cm, undated (but sometime between 1848 and 1867).

Item 3, center:  Image showing the exterior of Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia, located on North Broad Street, between Race and Vine Streets.  The college moved to this new building in 1890.  Engraving for an unidentified publication, 10.25 x 7.5 cm, undated (but after 1890).

Item 4, bottom:  Image with the caption "Hollingsworth School, Eight Section, Locust Street, adjoining the Academy of Music, Philadelphia" (at Broad & Locust Streets).  This was also called the Public School of Industrial Art, and was visited by Oscar Wilde in 1882.  Philadelphia architect J. C. Sidney designed the building, and this engraving was created by Van Ingen & Snyder.  Engraving for an unidentified publication, 15.5 x 14 cm, undated.
