		Du Simitière was especially concerned with the documentation of the American War of Independence.

	AmericanHeritage.com / THE GREAT SEAL
		Du Simitière, an intelligent and talented Swiss-born Philadelphia artist, proposed the form of a coat of arms (rather than an allegorical picture) for the seal but, in the three designs he made, came up with more appropriate ideas about the corporate identity of America than Adams, Franklin, and Jefferson combined.
		Several elements in the proposals by Du Simitière and Hopkinson were retained: the Eye of God, Liberty, the American warrior as one of the supporters, the stars, the thirteen stripes, and a motto praising Virtue.

	Exhibit Catalog - Du Simitiere His American Museum 200 Years After (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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.

		In the end, two elements of du Simitiere's original design did make it into the final seal: the all-seeing eye of Providence, which was placed atop the unfinished pyramid, and the motto E Pluribus Unum: "From Many, One," which is printed on the banner the eagle holds in it's mouth.

	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.

		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.

	DISCOVERY OF JOSEPH J. MICKLEY'S 1852 DIARY
		During the 2000 ANA Anniversary Convention in Philadelphia, I spent a couple of days at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, in search of numismatic source material.
		I had last been there in 1983, doing research for my dissertation; during that visit, I found materials on Pierre Eugene Du Simitiere that I used for my first numismatic book, The Eagle That Is Forgotten.
		A few hours spent with the Society's old-fashioned card catalogue yielded some interesting tidbits, but I hit the jackpot when I looked up Joseph J. Mickley, and discovered that, under catalogue # AM1039, the Society owned the great collector's diary for 1852.

		As with the late literary chore, the Declaration, Franklin and Adams passed the buck to Jefferson, asking the Virginian to cobble a design from quite different initial ideas each had proposed.
		Jefferson, brilliant architect of documents and dwellings but not of logos, wisely hired a Swiss scholar named Pierre Eugéne Du Simitière to do the job.
		It was an inspired idea, received “with high enthusiasm.” It highlighted the new nation’s multiethnic landscape but more importantly its strategic architecture.
