Fourth of July Celebration

The painting above by John Lewis Kimmel is titled July 4th 1819, Philadelphia. Kimmel was a German born immigrant who worked in Philadelphia during the 2nd decade of the 19th Century. The tent on the left hand side of the painting has a tent with a George Washington portrait at the apex; a naval battle illustration and slogan (“Don’t give up the ship!”) from the war of 1812 hangs below. The tent on the extreme right side of the painting has a Pennsylvania State flag (motto "Virtue, Liberty, Independence") flying over an illustration of “the battle of New Orleans.” The building in the background is Benjamin Latrobe’s waterworks.
