Additional Details

The majority of the views deal with Canadian subjects, but there is a view of Havana and four views of American sites: New York City, Charles Town [Charleston, SC], Bethlehem [PA], and Cohoes Fall on the Mohawk River. The New York view is a reduction of the Howdell-Canot southeast view. According to Stokes in his Iconography (plate 37), the scenes were to be viewed in a diagonal mirror.<
