THE GEORGE G. EVANS GIFT BOOK STOREGeorge G. Evans was the publisher of The Illustrated History of the United States Mint. He owned a bookstore in Philadelphia and sold many a copy to tourists visiting that city. During the Civil War, he was also an issuer of Encased Postage Stamps. Pete Smith writes: This morning I came across the image of a lithograph of George G. Evans' "Gift Book" store at 439 Chestnut Street in Philadelphia. This copy is at the Historical Society of Philadelphia. Other copies may also have survived. 
Thanks! I've never seen this before. Nice. Pete also found the following illustrations from Frank Leslie's Illustrated
Newspaper of December 31, 1859. Thanks! -Editor
