Summary: A portrait of Charles M. B. Cadwalader from the Philadelphia Record Photograph Morgue [V07]. Cadwalader was the energetic Managing Director and President of the Academy of Natural Sciences between 1928 and 1951, and the visionary figure largely responsible for transforming the venerable institution into a modern center for research and education. Museum membership quintupled with Cadwalader at the helm, collections grew substantially, and he superintended the installation of the Audubon Bird Hall as well as the creation of many of the memorable habitat groups still on display today.

Photographer was Joseph Janney Steinmetz of 8010 Winston Road, Chestnut Hill.
