The Edwin C. Jellett Series of Scrapbooks, Volume 1- The Wissahickon
Page 96 contains a colored, printed rendition of a painting entitled: "A Colonial Cornfield on the Wissahickon". Underneath is the caption: "From George Harding's mural painting in the Central City Office of the Corn Exchange National Bank, Philadelphia." The mural depicts, in the foreground, a farmer, amid corn stalks, with a large "scythe" in one hand, ready to harvest the crop. Also, in the foreground beside the farmer, are two turkeys and a pumpkin. In the background is another man leading a team of oxen. In the distant background are houses and beyond, a hill. Trees can be seen in the mural and a flock of birds fly off in the sky.Collection
