Place of Origin

Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Mid-Atlantic, United States, North America

Origin Notes

Probable origin is near Philadelphia. One of four drawings by Birch previously mounted on one sheet (59.40.12-.15). Thought perhaps they were all drawn within a short time of one another, in which case, they are probably all views of the area near his home by Neshaminy Creek.
