'Drive along the Wissahickon', 1874. Carriage ride near the Wissahickon Creek, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. 'A wide carriage-road runs along the bank of the Wissahickon, and is a favorite drive of the Philadelphians, the river dancing along on one side, and high, rocky projections, crowned with wild, overhanging trees and shrubbery, bordering the other. Nothing can surpass the variety of this river-scenery'. From "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant.
