Contains descriptions and photographs of the manuscript collections of the Free Library of Philadephia.

With the images you will find basic information about the object pictured: when and where it was made, and what its imagery depicts. When the image is from an intact book, the accompanying information will tell you about the book, and will also link to a complete description of it.
