THE LANTERN, New York, March 20, 1852  This was a comic weekly edited by John Brougham, the comic actor. Ultimately this paper proved unpopular and perished after just 18 months. This is the volume one, number eleven issue.
There are various comic cartoons within including a full page captioned: "The Mint Question" presented as a broadside (blank on the reverse).
Twelve pages, 8 1/2 by 11 1/4 inches, very nice condition.
