| Abstract | Rembrandt and Rubens Peale, sons of Charles Willson Peale, noted Philadelphia artist and museum proprietor, took one of two skeletons which they and their father had exhumed in New York (see broadside #583) for a European exhibition tour lasting a little over one year (1802-03). In an effort to obtain the funds necessary for their trip across the Atlantic, the two brothers first exhibited the fossilized creature in New York, an exhibit for which this broadside was issued. | ||
