Gilbert. "Water Works and Lemon Hill, From Fairmount". From The Casket

Philadelphia: 1826-1839. Approximately 3 1/4 x 4 3/4. Wood engraving. Minor staining. Else, good condition. Left hand margin trimmed to image.

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.
