Advertisement depicting an exterior view of the Rogers' industrial complex, the "model coach factory of America," at the busy corner of Sixth and Master streets. A white man clerk displays a carriage to a man and woman couple as laborers work on the upper stories. Drays, surreys, "Rogers" delivery carts, and a young African American man with a horse traverse the intersection. A white man passenger disembarks from a Sixth Street line horse-drawn omnibus near the factory entrance. A second omnibus rests at the corner, the white man driver unhappily receiving a citation from a white man constable; his young, white boy passenger watching with a look of awe sitting beside his mother. Rogers, the business established in 1846, and the factory erected in 1853, absorbed rival manufactory George W. Watson in 1870. The business operated over sixty years., Title from item., Date supplied by Wainwright., Philadelphia on Stone, POS 855, Accessioned 1982., Description revised 2021., Access points revised 2021., Rease, a prominent mid-19th century Philadelphia trade card lithographer known to highlight details of human interest in his advertisements, partnered with Francis H.
