Peale family.

This well-known family of American born painters was headed by Charles Willson Peale (1741-1827) and his younger brother, James (1749-1831). Many of their sons and daughters became prominent artists, both in America and abroad. Among them are Rembrandt (1778-1860), Rubens (1784-1865), Titian Ramsay (1799-1885), Sarah M. (1800-1885), James Jr. (1789-1876), Margaretta Angelica (1795-1882), Maria (1787-1866), Mary Jane (1827-1902), Raphaelle (1774-1825), and Anna Peale Claypoole (1791-1878). While most of the family members are represented in this collection by photographs of portraits of them or their works, the autographed papers of only three family members are represented here: Charles Willson, Rembrandt, and Rubens.
