Arts & Events: July 2009 Archives

What happens when art historians open a boutique? Shoppers get an education while they browse. Inspired by owner Lisa Reisman Halterman's vintage poster collection, Lisa M. Reisman et Cie (1714 S Rittenhouse) features vases, perfumes, tote bags, baby gifts and interactive mystery games along with designer fabrics, jewelry, and other fine art. Now through July 31, the store also offers guests an exhibition on the lithograph, an advertising form that transformed product labels at the turn of the 20th century.
