This large and colorful oil painting depicts a scene in pre-Revolutionary Philadelphia. The central building is the Three Crowns Inn. There was in Philadelphia " A Mrs. Jones {who} kept a celebrated public house by the name of The Three Crowns which was frequented by Richard Penn (William's grandson) in addition to other governors, generals, and members of the gentry who feasted at the tavern regularly." (Quote from ushistory (dot) org).
Robert Smith advertised in a Philadelphia newspaper in 1774 that he was setting up an ale brewery there. We've included a photo of two original calendars that feature Smith's 1774 Brewery on one and the Three Crowns on the other. Those pictures were created by "James Preston Phila Lodge 1908." The artist who created this painting reproduced the calendar picture of the inn in oils (minus a few residents).
The scene shows two men and a woman passing by the inn, along with a British "Redcoat" standing at attention holding his Brown Bess musket with bayonet attached. The painting was done on artist's canvas board. It's framed in a three layer wood frame: the innermost made of gilded beading, the center concave one in antiqued gold and the outermost an antiqued green. There's a hanging wire installed on the back.
The framed measurements are 20 1/2 inches high by 26 1/2 inches wide and the artwork weighs two pounds, 5 ounces. It's signed lower right by Rufus Gallup and dated Dec 71. All is in excellent condition, with a few tiny nicks and digs in the frame but the painting is pristine. It's very clean and ready to hang, perfect for the art lover who loves history.
