Additional Details

Fine perspective of a thriving mid-19th-century Philadelphia. Drawn on stone by Gustav Matter after Bachmann's original view, the panorama looks west from the Delaware River waterfront. Names can be seen on a few of the paddle-wheel steamships, two of them discreetly giving a nod to the artist and publisher with a small portrait of each. Reps 1584.
