- Description
- This hand colored print is a small oval portrait of Benjamin Franklin with a “rhebus,” where pictures are used to represent various sounds and words to explain as well as illustrate The art of making money plenty in every man's pocket by Doctor Franklin. Franklin (1706-1790), the American statesman, Founding Father and inventor, adopted a philosophy of self-improvement that espoused 13 virtues including frugality, industry and moderation.
- This print was produced by the lithographic firm E.B. & E.C. Kellogg. Edmund Burke Kellogg (1809-1872) and Elijah Chapman Kellogg (1811-1881) were brothers of the founder of the Kellogg lithography firm, Daniel Wright Kellogg (1807-1874). After D.W. Kellogg moved west, his two brothers took over the family lithography firm in 1840 and changed the name to E.B. & E.C. Kellogg. The younger two of the four Kellogg brothers, they were responsible for the continued success of the family firm. These two brothers were also involved in the eventual partnerships between the company and Horace Thayer in 1845 or 1846, John Chenevard Comstock (1818-1862) in 1848 and William Henry Bulkeley (1840-1902) in 1867.
