Additional Details

An apparently untraced view by the Hudson River School artist Thomas T. Doughty (1793-1856). A distant view of the academy from the south, it shows two cadets and a dog in the foreground. It is undated, but was advertised as "just published" by the publisher along with two other West Point views in the 30 March 1826 issue of the National Gazette of Philadelphia. No other examples traced at auction or in OCLC.
