Description
Advertisement showing the three-and-a-half story building on the 100 block of North Fourth Street for the bookseller, binder, and publisher Thomas Ellwood Chapman. A male patron enters the doorway of the building past advertisements (e.g. Books Stationery) adorning a mantle and the entry. A small broadside hangs in the window of the door, bundles of fibrous material rest atop the mantle, and shelves of books are visible lining the wall of the interior of the store. To the right of the doorway, a woman hunches over, and stands to the side of the closed cellar doors as she looks at one of several books and printed matter displayed in the window. A sign reading "Rags Bought" hangs below. Building facade also contains a wood door, possibly to an alleyway. Chapman opened the bookstore at the address in 1840, and added the bindery in 1843. He relocated in 1849.
