Where is this image from?

Can you help me figure out the source of this image? When I try to do an image search online I get a bunch of sites selling prints of the image, but I haven't been able to find a source. This link goes to a site selling prints of the image in question.
To me this looks like an engraving that would have come from a book, in which case I'm trying to find information on that book. Otherwise, literally any information would be helpful. It doesn't seem like this should be that difficult, but for whatever reason I'm having a really hard time.
If anyone is able to find the source, it would be helpful to know how you found it, too! (Even if that's like "Oh I have the book this came from.")
Thanks everybody!

Best answer: It appears in the London Illustrated Times, July 11 1846: archive.

I looked up Henry Anelay and found out he worked for the Illustrated London News.
Then I searched their archive for "Haymarket Theatre"
