Peterson, Philadelphia T. B. Peterson and Brothers, Philadelphia After working as a printing foreman at the Saturday Evening Post, Theophilus Beasley Peterson opened a newsstand in 1844 at No. 98 Chestnut Street. By January, 1845 Peterson was in the publishing business. In 1854 the city of Philadelphia revised addresses so that without so much as packing a suitcase, T. B. Peterson was at 102 Chestnut Street. In 1858 Peterson's brothers George W. and Thomas joined the firm. The publisher was renamed T. B. Peterson and Brothers and moved to 306 Chestnut Street. 98 Ches(t)nut Street 1844-1853 102 Chestnut 1854-1858 306 Chestnut 1858- The Arthur Peterson published books are among the hardest to find. Perhaps it because almost all of the T. B. Peterson Arthur books were paperbound. Beginning in 1848 and continuing until the late 1870’s, Peterson published a number of T. S. Arthur books, most of which were first editions. Determining if a T. B. Peterson published title is a first edition is a challenge. There are two factors that are key. 1. Note the copyright of the book and then look at the Peterson address. If a 1850 copyrighted book has the 102 Chestnut address (1854-1858), it is clearly not a first edition. Appreciate that Peterson never put a date on any of its title pages.
