"The Cadwalader Family: Art and Style in Early Philadelphia" was an exhibition of paintings, drawings, and objects from the John and Elizabeth Cadwalader collection. The exhibition was held from November 3, 1996 to February 2, 1997. In 1697, John Cadwalader, the family's founder, immigrated to Philadelphia from Wales and the family went on to become influential and philanthropic members of the Philadelphia community. Beginning in 1980, the PMA began acquiring pieces from the family's collection, and later added the Cadwalader Collection to its permanent collections. Included in the collection are portaits of the Cadwalader family by Charles Willson Peale. The records, ranging in date from 1995-1996, contain photographs of objects, loan information, and planning material.
