A woman in 1830s dress, shown with fish for sale, sets this color lithograph apart from other street-trade pictures of the period. It was published in Baltimore by A. N. Toy and W. R. Lucas, and the engraving is credited to the firm of Endicott and Swett. The date of 1831 appears in brackets in the record, which means it is an estimate rather than a printed date. Pairing a stylish costume with a fishmonger's basket shows how prints of the time mixed everyday commerce with the fashions of the day.
