Jellett Series of Scrapbooks, Volume 5 -The Wissahickon Page 140 contains two photographs: (a, top) The photograph shows a central feature of an ornate wooden gate and "crossed" picket fence extending across the width of the photograph. A few steps are visible in front of the gate through the snow drift. Beyond the gate and the fence is a "Winter scene" with snow draping the tree branches and the ground. No buildings are visible in the photograph. The location of the scene in this photograph is unknown. (b, bottom) This photograph shows another "Winter scene" with the bridle path curving into the distance. To the right of the path, a snow covered wooden fence borders the path. To the left (in the foreground) a rock formation can be seen coated with ice. Beyond the rock formation, the hillside descends down to the path and the trees lining the hillside are snow covered.
