  MissScarlett: Harding in <Steinitz in London> (McFarland, 2020), p.57:

<This game, not in the usual collections, was first published in <Waldheim's Illustrirte Zeitung> (no. 35 for 30 August 1862, pages 419-420), and rediscovered independently in 2018 by Anderberg and the author of this book.>

According to the <WIZ>, Steinitz vs Anderssen, 1862 (when Anderssen varied with <12...Bh6>) followed the next day.

  MissScarlett: Regarding the unfamiliar source, <Waldheim's Illustrirte Zeitung>, Harding has (p.4):

<The earliest games that have recently been rediscovered were in two Viennese weekly journals that have been digitized. [...] Then <Waldheim's Illustrirte Zeitung>, which began publication in January 1862, had a chess column continuing to the end of 1863. This included two previously unknown Steinitz games from Vienna and also a few he played in London, one of which (against Anderssen) was previously unknown. There was also a chess column in the <Wiener Wochenblatt> from 7 November 1858 until publication ceased on 25 March 1860, but apparently it only contained problems, not games. The late Ken Whyld's bibliography <Chess Columns: A List> names Heinrich Landesmann as the chess editor of both the <Wochenblatt> and <Wladheim's> and he possibly also conducted the <Telegraf> column. Landesmann had a London informant, probably Lowenthal; there is clear evidence that they were corresponding, at least in 1862.>
