The Streets of New York by Dion Boucicault
Promotional postcard for The Streets of New York by Dion Boucicault. The piece revolves around the efforts of a middle-class family, newly impoverished by the financial panic of 1857, to survive against a villainous banker. It was an immediate success and Boucicault went on to present it throughout Europe, changing locations and the title to reflect the locales it was playing. Circa 1860
