The image was captured in 1920 and is part of a collection called Leaders of Men cigarette cards produced by Ogdens in 1924. William Penn (1644-1718) holds great historical significance as he established the colony of Pennsylvania and founded the city of Philadelphia in America. His commitment to his religious beliefs and dedication to peace are evident through his Quaker attire, including a distinctive hat and traditional clothing. Penn's impact on Christianity and society at large cannot be overstated. This photograph provides us with a glimpse into his life during the seventeenth century, showcasing him as a prominent leader who played a vital role in shaping both Pennsylvania's history and its capital city. The print itself is an engraving that beautifully captures Penn's likeness, emphasizing his notable wig which was fashionable during that era.
