Description

The Edwin C. Jellett Series of Scrapbooks, Volume 7 -The Wissahickon This photograph (front and reverse sides) was originally found resting on top of scrapbook page 125. It clearly did not belong there as page 125 already has two photographs. Most likely it had originally been affixed to another page in this scrapbook and fell out and was placed in this location. Consequently, it will be catalogued as page 124. Page 124 contains two photographs: (a, front) This photograph is hand labeled "Bridge at Indian Rock" The photograph shows the twin arch stone bridge spanning the Wissahickon at Rex Avenue. Indian Rock is not visible in this photograph. (b, reverse) This photograph is hand labeled "The Wissahickon" and the view is of the Wissahickon creek taken from a hillside with a clear view of the creek and the opposite shoreline as the creek calmly flows into the distance and out of camera range.
