On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 704

This lantern advertised the services of Joseph Shiner, an independent glass engraver and cutter. In 1829, in the firm’s advertisement in a Philadelphia newspaper, M’Cord and Shiner featured “one hundred hall and entry lamps cut to various elegant new patterns,” of which
this lantern may have been a sample.
