Few things capture a 19th-century commercial district like the trade prints and advertising views of wholesale houses, and this one names Riegel, Scott & Co., importers and jobbers of dry goods in Philadelphia. Jobbers bought cloth, notions and related goods in quantity and resold them to retail merchants, so their warehouses and showrooms were key links in the city's textile trade. The shelflist card associates the print with the name Sartain, likely the Philadelphia engraver John Sartain, though that attribution is unverified. The record gives no date, so the print's exact age remains uncertain.
