Page 162 contains two postcard photographs:
(a,top) This postcard photograph has a label (at the top) that reads; "Philadelphis, Pa., The Wissahickon Creek". The photograph is a colored view of the Wissahickon Creek with a rocky shoreline and rocks scattered throughout the creek bed. Trees and vegetation line both shores and "frame" the creek. The view stretches into the distance and is very "pastoral".
(b, bottom) This postcard photograph is labeled: "Philadelphia, Pa., Old Rittenhouse Mansion, Farimount Park". The view is a hand-colored reproduction of the David Rittenhouse birthplace in Rittenhousetown. The fence in front of the house separates the site from what is now Lincoln Drive.Collection
