The collection comprises one original drawing (lithographic crayon on illustration board) by Louis I. Kahn (1901-1974) of Dr. Charles W. Burr, first professor of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania. The drawing shows Burr presenting a patient in the rotunda of the old Pennsylvania General Hospital. The drawing was commissioned by the Philadelphia Psychiatric Association for presentation to Dr. Burr around 1935.

Individual holding records for this collection are available on the Philadelphia Architects and Buildings website.
