[Abolition - Underground Railroad - Pennsylvania - Kennett Square] Rehn, Isaac; Penrock, Mary and MosesBiblio.com

Pair of Ambrotypes of Mary and Moses Penrock Members of the Kennett Square Underground Railroad Network by Isaac Rehn c. 1854

1854List1708Philadelphia 1854. Ninth plate ambrotypes in a union case measuring 2 Â½ x 2 â…› inches visible in larger case. With the identification of Isaac Rehn with his imprint and â€œPatented July 4 & 11 1854â€ imprinted on the case. A fine pair. A striking pair of ambrotypes of Mary and Moses Pennock who were members of the Kennett Square Underground Railroad network as well as active members of the Kennett Square abolitionist and Quaker community. Moses was one of the founders of the Longwood Progressive Meeting. In R.C. Smedleyâ€™s History of the Underground Railroad in Chester and Neighboring Counties of Pennsylvania Lancaster Office of the Journal 1883 the Pennocks are mentioned on p. 301 as working as part of the network surrounding Isaac and Thamazine Meredity. Their son Samuel who would go on to secure important agricultural patents is also mentioned twice. The images are notable from a photographic history perspective as well as being early examples of the ambrotype process that had been patented in part by fellow Quaker and spiritualist Isaac Rehn. Rehn held a partial patent on ambrotypes along with James Ambrose Cutting of Boston and became unpopular among other photographers for his efforts to extend his patent. He later practiced spiritual photography and was a Professor of Chemistry at Pennsylvania Medical University in Philadelphia. Rehn was also involved in radical politics as a founder and leader of the Philadelphia section of the International Workingmenâ€™s Association which was later disenfranchised by Karl Marx along with several other American sections. Examples of Rehnâ€™s work are held at the National Gallery of Art the Library Company of Philadelphia and Yaleâ€™s Sterling Memorial Library. Overall a very fine and significant pair of images. unknown
