The Edwin C. Jellett Series of Scrapbooks, Volume 1, Part 2- The Wissahickon
Page 128 contains two photographs:
(a, top) This photograph contains a handwritten caption from Jellett: "Wissahickon Near Ridge Road" and the attribution is "From (Name Unclear) 'Philadelphia'". The photograph shows Wissahickon Drive with people in horse drawn carriages and people on bicycles. A fence on the left divides the Drive from the Wissahickon creek which can be seen beyond the fence. The Drive curves and extends into the distance.
(b, bottom) This photograph contains a typewritten label: "Drive Near Wissahickon Hall, 1904". The photograph shows Wissahickon Drive as a wide dirt path with a fence bordering the path. The Wissahickon creek can be seen on the left. Approaching the foreground is a horse drawn open front carriage. Mature trees and foliage are prominent on both sides of the creek. The location on the Drive (as the label notes) is near the site of Wissahickon Hall.Collection
