Caption: Silk broadside of the Declaration of Sentiments, printed in Philadelphia in 1833. The text below the lithograph reads "Thou shalt tread upon the lion and the adder; the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet" (Psalm 91:13). The engraving is credited to R.S. Gilbert. Reuben Gilbert (1808-1849) was an important Philadelphia-based engraver who also supplied the famous engraving of the ruins of Pennsylvania Hall. He died young, though well-published. There is a Find-a-Grave memorial for him; ironically, it does not appear that his stone was well-engraved.
