Summary edit

Description
English: Street scene with a view of the New Market shed on South Second Street. Depicts a group of men, women, and children gathered by a bull decorated with garlands of flowers near the shed, possibly a procession of a butcher's trade association. An African American fiddle player entertains the group as an African American boy runs toward them. Attached to the back of the shed is the fire engine house with cupola, known as the headhouse." The New Market, erected about 1745, was created following a petition by the growing population of South Philadelphia residents who found it a hardship to cross Dock Creek to reach the High Street. The shed was razed in 1956 and rebuilt in 1963. p-2276-35.

Drawn, Engraved & Published by W. Birch & Son. 1799.
