	First Committee's Design for the Great Seal - 1776
		To help convey their vision, they chose the artist Pierre Eugène Du Simitière to work with them.
		Skilled in portraiture and heraldry (the state seals of Delaware and New Jersey are his designs), Du Simitière was also an avid collector of all things American and founded the first history museum in the United States.
		John Adams chose the allegorical painting known as the "Judgment of Hercules" where the young Hercules must choose to travel either on the flowery path of self-indulgence or ascend the rugged, uphill way of duty to others and honor to himself.

		The first committee, composed of Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, turned to a Swiss-born New Yorker named Pierre Eugene Du Simitiere, who had produced seals for several of the new states.

		Two hundred years ago the Library Company acquired, at auction, much of the contents of the American Museum of Pierre Eugene Du Simitière (1737-1784), the Geneva-born artist, naturalist, and antiquary.
		It has long been held that this purchase was the most important in the history of the Library Company, but only in the course of mounting this exhibition have we come to appreciate fully how much our 104 pounds bought.
		This exhibition represents, then, only the parts of the American Museum that were on paper; still it should give the viewer some idea of the incredible historical riches passed on to us by this elusive, eccentric genius.

		Only one day later, he received an Email directly from Aaron Du Val that literally "blew his doors off." In the letter, there was a summary of all 1998 mailings from the group, none of which Wilcock had yet read.
		Du Val's mailings indicate that they were able to decode the messages from the findings at the Scott Stones site, which in turn led them to discover a set of records in Egypt.
		And now, if Du Val's information is correct, we can see that the Atlanteans must have been very well aware of the effects of this Cycle.

	CORRECTION: DU SIMITIERE'S MUSEUM CONFUSED WITH PEALE'S
		The E-Sylum: Volume 9, Number 52, December 24, 2006, Article 5 CORRECTION: DU SIMITIERE'S MUSEUM CONFUSED WITH PEALE'S Gar Travis' answer to last week's quiz question (the fourth Philadelphia Mint) was correct, but wrong in the details.
		Gar quotes this source as saying that Pierre Eugene Du Simitiere conducted his museum in his house in 1794, when he moved it into rented quarters in the American Philosophical Society; then in 1802, he moved it once more into the Pennsylvania State House (Independence Hall).
		One last thing--when Du Simitiere's Museum collection was auctioned on March 19, 1785, it had one large lot of coins and one large lot of paper money, making it the earliest known public auction of numismatic items in the United States (the broadside detailing the sale is pictured on p.

	Information about the LAFAYETTE SILVER DOLLAR coin
		The childless Washington and the then extremely handsome young Lafayette were closer than brothers throughout the war.
		It might have been even more appropriate to portray them as they appeared then, rather than decades later, but possibly no engraved portrait of Lafayette of that time was available to go with those of Washinton by Pierre Eugene du Simitiere.
		We may take Lafayette's pose on the statue, as depicted on the coin, to represent him in triumphal procession rather than charging against the enemy-note his sheathed sword, like a Highland pipe major's baton, serving as a standard rather than bradished unsheathed as a weapon.

	Delaware (U.S.)
		The coat of arms was originally adopted on January 17, 1777, as the basic design of the state seal.
		The work of developing a seal had been entrusted in October 1776 to a joint committee of the two houses of the legislature, which (after a horrendous first concept offered by the committee in early November) eventually consulted with the Philadelphia heraldic artist Pierre Eugene du Simitiere on the matter.
		A rendering of this blazon can be seen on Delaware currency issued in early 1777, photographs of which can be found here.

		It is the work of a minor Swiss artist named Pierre Eugène du Simitière, who settled in Philadelphia and became Jefferson's friend.
		Paul Sifton, an American scholar and Du Simitière expert, last week showed evidence that the picture's subject is really Jefferson, done from life at 33 at the time of the Declaration of Independence.
		Seen through Du Simitière's eyes, the young Jefferson in crisis emerges as a paragon of refined and virile good looks, radiating courage—and hope.
