According to Valley Views of Northeastern Pennsylvania, by Gilbert S. McClintock, “The town of Danville as seen from the Blue Hill.”
Danville is a borough located in Montour County, Pennsylvania. Around the 17th Century, this land was inhabited by the Susquehannock people, who spoke Iroquian. This area was often used by Dutch traders who bartered for furs and firearms.
Peter Stephen Duval, (also known as P. S. Duval) was born around 1804 or 1805 in France and was the most prominent Philadelphia lithographer in the 19th century. He began his career by accepting a job from the printing firm of Childs & Inman. He established his own lithographic print shop in 1837 and later retired in 1869. The firm was run by Duval’s son for a few years after. On February 9, 1886, Duval died due to an “enlargement of the heart.”
