Description

The Saco River cuts through a landscape that includes some trees in the middle ground to the right and left, and a grassy embankment to the right and a sandy beach to the left. The river turns toward the left of the image and in the background also seems to come from the left. In the background are more trees. The image may have been taken in North Conway, where White had his studio.

Condition

Notes

The emulsion has cracked and worn away from the top, bottom, and left side of the plate, partially obscuring the image though not in a critical area. There is also some pitting in this area and throughout the image, and damage from abrasion throughout. The number 79 is written in the lower right corner.
