Unattributed. "Walnut Street Theatre". From The Casket.

Philadelphia: 1826-1839. Approximately 3 1/4 x 4 3/4. Wood engraving. Minor staining. Else, good condition.

In 1826, Samuel C. Atkinson and Charles Alexander founded The Casket: Flowers of Literature, Wit and Sentiment. Though it had a fairly short run, the Casket was said to be the most widely circulated monthly in the United States. It included articles, stories, poetry, puzzles, and steel and wood engraved illustrations, many of which showed scenes of Philadelphia.
