This image was originally published in Benson Lossing's The Hudson, from the Wilderness to the Sea (1866), based on Lossing's travels in the 1850s and sketches he made at that time. The coloring is a later addition [Jessa J. Krick, 2/18/2015]. This object was accessioned in 2012, but it was acquired earlier [Jessa J. Krick, 4/12/2012].
