"View of the Canal, at the Little Falls Mohawk River"

This attractive view after William Guy Wall, was included in John H. Hinton's History and Topography of the United States of North America. Hinton's travel book was first published in 1830.  Its text and pleasing illustrations made the work so popular that it continued to be published in a variety of editions for over 30 years. The views were based upon the drawings and paintings of many well known artists, some of whom, worked on the spot. They were engraved by some of the most accomplished engravers of the period.

11 x 8 1/4 inches.
Hand colored steel engraving.
