About this Item
8 x 7 1/2 inches. Mounted on heavy card, 9 3/4 x 7 1/2 inches. Light creasing, faint spotting. Very good. A lovely pen and ink illustration of a river scene, captioned "Cincinnati, Ohio" and marked in the upper left corner: "Plate 6, Page 34." Clearly intended to appear as a plate in a published work, the sketch is in a style similar to those that appear in Captain Basil Hall's FORTY ETCHINGS., but is not present in that publication. The illustration shows an elaborate circular houseboat floating past a developed riverfront. The artist's name appears in the lower left corner, but it is illegible. The artist has also included a date attribution which looks like "'53." A fine antebellum view of a prosperous Cincinnati. Seller Inventory # WRCAM34074
