Sizes range from 1/2" H (earrings) to 1 1/2" H x 3" W x 1 1/2" D (salts). 15th item: "BALTIMORE, Drawn from Nature and On Stone by E. Sachse," printed by Sachse & Co., Baltimore, depicting the city from the north with the Washington Monument in the foreground.

Included on the back of this print is a portion of the 1853 Baltimore City Directory, A through BAK, 10 pages. 16th item: VIEW OF BALTIMORE, c. 1830, lithograph on paper, from the engraving by S. Fisher after a painting by William H. Bartlett. Published in Willis' book American Scenery by George Virtue, London, 1839. Matted, unframed. Sight 6" H x 8"W.
