Description

The Edwin C. Jellett Series of Scrapbooks, Volume 9 -The Wissahickon Page 117 contains the following: (a, top) This photograph has a typed caption that reads: "Ambler, 1905." The view is of the Wissahickon in the foreground. Midway into the distance, the water flow takes on a more "choppy" appearance, likely due to the fact that the water cascades over a (not visible in the photograph) stone wall, creating a small waterfall. Trees and foliage line both banks and the creek appears to "bend" leftward as it flows into the distance. (b, bottom) This photograph has a typed caption that reads: "Ambler, 1905." The aerial view is of Ambler taken from a high location as if "peering down" on Ambler. Trees and rooftops are mostly visible in the foreground. In the rear center are what appear to be a set of smokestacks and the roofs of factory buildings.
