Description:
Print (steel engraving) titled "Mount Tom and the Connecticut River" engraved by J. T. Willmore and drawn by T. Creswick after a drawing by William Henry Bartlett (1809-1854). This print also appeared in Volume 1 of "American Scenery" (London: George Virtue, 1840) by Nathaniel Parker Willis, which is illustrated with engravings made from Bartlett's drawings from his four visits to the United States between 1836 and 1852. It depicts the Connecticut River with a wide section of bank in the foreground with people standing at the river's edge; two boats in the river; and on the opposite bank, the several peaks of Mount Tom.
