> Broadside measures 12.25" x 8"; there is a thin double rule at both top and bottom of the piece; it is mounted on an extracted album sheet, else very good; There are two iterations of this broadside, this and another with the title, "His son, Joseph B. Shewell, late of the firm of Tustin & Shewell, died very recently, and we design in our next number to give a sketch of the life of that honorable merchant and true gentleman." Tustin & Shewell are listed in Philadelphia directories through 1863; Joseph B. Shewell is listed through 1866, but not after. We were able to locate a copy at the Library Company of Philadelphia.
