    Explore books and broadsides from colonial and early 19th-century Philadelphia that reflects aspects of daily life from the humble to the momentous. Visitors will see an 1810 children’s primer, almanacs and a cookbook with helpful tips on doing laundry, baking delicious eel pie and protecting one’s family from cholera. From the Rosenbach’s extensive collection of broadsides you will learn about the local uproar caused by the Boston Tea Party and early warnings of the impending British occupation of this city. Created especially for visitors who seek an in-depth and focused look at the collection, Hands-On Tours allow you to get in touch with objects from the collection that are not usually on view to the public.
