The cabinet of natural history and American rural sports
Rare Books
The Cabinet of Natural History and American Rural Sports was published from 1830 to 1833 by Philadelphians John and Thomas Doughty. The short-lived magazine featured articles on hunting, detailed descriptions of newly described flora and fauna, and some of the finest examples of early American hand-colored lithography. Fellow artist and naturalist Titian Peale contributed an image of an Indian mounted on horseback taking aim at a charging buffalo. The drawing was based on Peale's sketches made as a member of the expedition led by Stephen H. Long to explore the Great Plains in 1819-1820.

Ann Renaudet Chevalier letter to Charles Willson Peale
Manuscripts
This autograph letter signed is addressed to Mr. Peale at the Museum (Peale retired from the museum in 1810, this letter may be for him or one of his sons who replaced him). Chevalier writes, "Sir, Please to receive in your Museum a little pensionnary that came last night to take refuge in the house where I live: It is a screetch-owl of the smallest and beautiful kind, I had always been told that such birds were ominous creatures; but the contrary I now find in the opportunity this offers me, by presenting you with it, to do something with that perhaps may prove agreeable to you. I am with respect, Anne Renaudet Chevalier."
