The Friends bookplate and logo, as designed by local artist Martha Maulsby Hovenden (1884-1941), a member of the Corson Family, and daughter of renowned artists Thomas Hovenden (1840-1895) & Helen Corson Hovenden (1847-1935). Except for trips abroad and a brief stay with relatives in Washington, DC, Martha Hovenden resided in the white stucco house, known as the Hovenden House, at the corner of Butler and Germantown Pikes, in the village of Plymouth Meeting. Following the example of her parents, she used Abolition Hall, constructed by her grandfather, George Corson, as her studio. Both the Hovenden House and Abolition Hall are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Plymouth Meeting was Pennsylvania’s first National Historic Register district (1971).
