Pure, Bright and Solid
For want of documentation, frustratingly little has been known or written about the life and work of Philadelphia silversmith John McMullin (1765-1843). Scant research uncovered anything substantive about him since scholars and collectors began the study American silver sometime in the early twentieth century. This thesis considers details uncovered about McMullin|s life and work, placing them within the context of thriving, post-Revolutionary Philadelphia into the first third of the nineteenth century. Genealogical research, investigation of primary sources found in church and public records, wills, period newspapers, and from the examination and study of some of the extensive number of objects McMullin produced that are held in museum and private collections. Knowledge and material gathered and interpreted from each of these sources creates a more vigorous and comprehensive profile of one of Philadelphia's noteworthy silversmiths than previously recognized.
